HOW WE WORK SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION

Filing Deadlines

For calendar-year C corporations, Form 1120 is generally due April 15. A timely Form 7004 generally provides an automatic six-month extension to file.

An extension to file does not extend the deadline for corporate income tax or withholding payments that may otherwise be due.
