The recurring tax and business actions every owner should have on the calendar, organized by month, quarter, and year. Choose how your business is taxed and the calendar narrows to what actually applies to you.
Choose how your business is taxed. An LLC is taxed as one of these, so pick the one that matches the return you file.
Your calendar appears here once you choose.
Starts with the current month and rolls forward a full year. The gold dot marks this month. Select any month to see what's due in it.
Small, regular reviews that keep the quarterly and annual deadlines from turning into surprises. Check items off as you go. Checks clear on their own when the next cycle starts.
Estimates and pace checks. Each date is when to act, not when to start thinking about it. The highlighted date is the next one coming up.
Filing deadlines early in the year, planning windows late in the year. The planning dates matter as much as the filing ones, because most strategies have to be in place before December 31.
The dates above are the usual federal ones for a calendar-year business. A few things move them.
When a federal due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, it moves to the next business day. Confirm the actual date each year rather than assuming it.
These dates assume a calendar year. A fiscal-year partnership or S-Corp files by the 15th day of the third month after its year ends, and the other dates shift with it.
States set their own due dates for returns, estimates, and annual reports, and many don't match the federal ones. Two systems, two calendars.
An extension gives you more time to file, not more time to pay. Interest and penalties run from the original due date on anything still owed.
