The IRS requires all corporations to file taxes annually, regardless of whether they made a profit during the fiscal year. Corporate tax returns are mandatory for companies incorporated as C-corporations or S-corporations. Many business owners opt for these corporate structures because of their benefits, such as the business paying taxes on profits instead of the owner.
C-corporations are required to pay taxes on all profits, excluding any deductions. S-corporations, however, can choose to be taxed as a corporation or as a pass-through entity, where profits are passed on to the owner and taxed through their personal income tax returns.
Corporate tax returns are generally due by March 15th each tax year, though business owners can request a six-month extension. Companies filing as corporations with assets exceeding $10 million must submit their tax returns online. At Tax Review Solutions, our tax accountants can handle online filing for your company, as tax documentation can only be submitted electronically. Corporations can also make installment payments in April, June, September, and December.
