Tax Preparation Season has Arrived: Know Your Deadlines
Opening of Tax Seasons
As announced by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) earlier this year, the tax season for 2022 officially started on January 24th. At the time the federal tax agency officially began accepting and processing tax returns for individuals. Though, businesses could have started the process earlier. As of January 31st, 2022, all employers should have submitted W-2 forms to their employees. Around this time, other tax documents—from mortgage interest to health expenses to information about certain commercial transactions—are also typically distributed. Individuals and businesses should carefully gather and organize all relevant tax records and financial information.
Filing of Tax Returns
For practical purposes, your tax season as an individual or business “ends” when you file your return. Partnerships, S-Corporations, and multi-member LLCs have the earliest tax deadline. They are supposed to file their federal tax return by March 15th. All other parties, including individuals and corporations, are generally required to file by April 15th—although the deadline for 2022 has been extended to April 18th due to a holiday. Parties can file an automatic six-month extension for additional time to file—but an extension does not give more time to pay, and all taxes must be paid prior to the applicable deadline to avoid penalties.
