Key Tax Deadlines – August 2012

The usual employer tax deadlines continue through the month for paying over tax payments to the IRS.

Other tax deadlines this month include:
August 10 – Employees must report to their employer all tips for July if they total more than $20.

As this is a quiet month for tax deadlines you may want to start preparing for some September deadlines. These include:

  • Individuals paying third estimated tax payment for 2012
  • Partnerships filing form 1065 if they have an extension
  • Corporations and S-Corporations filing forms 1120 and 1120S if they have an extension

For the Partnership tax return 1065 and the Corporation tax returns 1120 and 1120S you may wish to start making arrangements with your tax preparer or accountant so that these returns can be completed before the deadlines.

For individuals who have had a big change in their circumstances this year such as big increase in income or change in deductions or exemptions it may be worth getting your tax preparer to check if you need to start making estimated tax payments.
