Know your tax deadlines!
One of the biggest reasons business owners miss tax deadlines is simply by not knowing them well enough. If you know the dates, and plan ahead, filing your returns on time should be doable. If you need any help with tax filing for your business, just visit www.gliddenholt.com and reach out to us!
Small-business owner? Your business tax-filing deadline for the 2021 tax year is probably April 18, 2022. If you're filing taxes in Maine or Massachusetts, where the 18th is a state holiday, you can file taxes on April 19, 2022.
The April 18th tax deadline applies mainly to sole proprietors, single-owner LLCs, freelancers, household employers, and C corporations. In contrast, S corporations and partnerships must file taxes for the 2021 tax year by March 15, 2022.
What about extensions? If you need an extension, you can apply for one.
However, bear in mind that a tax extension merely extends your filing deadline. You must still pay your estimated taxes on your businessโs tax-filing deadline, which is probably either March 15, 2022, or April 18, 2022.
An extension will give you six more months to file your tax paperwork. You must apply for a tax extension no later than your typical tax deadline:
๐๏ธ Sole proprietorships, C corporations, and single-owner LLCs must apply for an extension by April 18, 2022, which extends their tax-filing deadline to October 17, 2022.
๐๏ธ Partnerships and S Corporations must apply by March 15, 2022, which extends their tax-filing deadline to September 15, 2022.
