In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and a starting new fiscal year, companies with US branches must pay attention to the deadlines for their tax obligations.
In order for you and your company to stay up to date with the United States tax authorities, we have prepared a list of some of the main obligations that need to be delivered to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the first months of 2021.
1. Limited Liability Company Tax Return
15th of March or 15th of April (a 6 month extension is available)
Depending on the choices made by the LLC and the number of members, the IRS will treat an LLC as a corporation, partnership or as part of the owner’s income tax return (a disregarded entity). Check with our tax team.
2. Corporation Income Tax Return
15th of April (a 6 month extension is available)
Companies classified as corporations must file form 1120 to report their income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and to calculate their income tax liabilities.
