Important tax dates

Important tax dates

These answer the deadline questions clients ask most. Dates are general — they can shift for weekends and federal holidays, and your obligations depend on your entity and tax year. An extension gives more time to file, generally not more time to pay. For your situation, check the official source or ask us.

When are partnership and S-corporation returns generally due?

For calendar-year filers, partnership (Form 1065) and S-corporation (Form 1120-S) returns are generally due March 15. With a timely extension (Form 7004), the return is generally due September 15.

Official source(opens in a new tab)

When are individual income-tax returns generally due?

For calendar-year filers, individual returns (Form 1040) are generally due April 15. With a timely extension (Form 4868), the return is generally due October 15. An extension gives more time to file, not to pay — any tax owed is generally still due by April 15.

Official source(opens in a new tab)

When are C-corporation returns generally due?

It depends on the corporation's tax year. For a calendar-year C corporation (Form 1120), the return is generally due April 15 — the 15th day of the fourth month after the tax year ends — so a fiscal-year corporation's date will differ. Check current IRS guidance for your situation.

When are extended business returns generally due?

For calendar-year partnerships and S corporations, a timely extension generally moves the filing deadline to September 15. Extension dates depend on the entity and tax year, so fiscal-year filers differ.

Official source(opens in a new tab)

When are extended individual returns generally due?

A timely individual extension generally moves the filing deadline to October 15. Remember the extension is for filing, not paying — any balance due is generally still owed by the original April 15 date.

Individual estimated-tax payments generally follow four dates: April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15 of the following year.

What should I do if I receive an IRS or state tax letter?

Don't ignore it, and don't send sensitive documents through ordinary email. Contact the firm promptly so we can review it with you before you respond or pay anything.

Can Stuart Tax Group help with a prior-year or amended return?

Yes — we prepare prior-year and amended returns. Contact us with your details and we'll let you know the next step.

What happens after I request a consultation?

We review your message and follow up to set up a consultation and talk through your situation. Submitting the form starts an inquiry; it doesn't create a confirmed appointment on its own.

What's the difference between requesting a consultation and scheduling an appointment?

Requesting a consultation begins the inquiry process so we can understand your needs. It does not automatically create a confirmed appointment — we follow up with you to confirm the next step.
