The Times, They Are A-Changin'

No one said it quite like Bob Dylan, the iconic 1960s folk singer who wrote, "The Times, They are A-Changin'." (Who knew back then that Mr. Dylan would win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016?) The times indeed are a-changin', especially in regards to the new tax deadlines for corporations and partnerships.

The short-term highway funding bill passed in 2015 made some changes to future tax return due dates that may affect you and your filing deadlines.

 

Beginning with 2016 returns that are filed in 2017, partnership and "S" corporation returns will be due March 15, while "C" corporation returns will now be due on April 15. Extensions for partnerships, S corporations and C corporations will be available up until September 15. Individual tax return due dates will not change but the foreign bank account reporting deadline will move from June 30 to April 15, with an extension allowed until October 15. Finally, trust returns will still be due April 15 but will be allowed extensions until September 30.

 

As always, we are here to help you navigate those changes in tax deadlines and look forward to being of service.
