We strongly encourage you to transmit your e-files at least two hours before the midnight (eastern daylight time) deadline.
As
the April 15th deadline approaches, the processing volume at the IRS
will increase. Both return volume and return size will affect processing
time. While you are accustomed to receiving your Federal
acknowledgements within a one hour time-frame, that turnaround time will
increase as the deadline approaches. You may see your acknowledgements
take from 2 to 4 hours, and possibly longer.
This is why we suggest that you send returns periodically throughout the day. This will help spread out the volume and also help eliminate some of the 'deadline rush' which also impacts IRS processing.
Taxpayers have until Monday, April 15, 2019 to file their 2018 returns and pay any taxes due.
Taxpayers requesting an extension will have until Tuesday, October 15, 2019 to file.
C-corporation
income tax returns (IRS Form 1120) are due on April 15, 2019 for C
corporations that operate on a calendar year, extended deadline is
October 15, 2019. The deadline for C corp returns is the 15th day of
the fourth month following the end of the corporation's fiscal year if
the corporation is on a fiscal rather than a calendar year.
For
calendar year Estates and Trusts, file Form 1041 and Schedule(s) K-1 on
or before April 15, 2019. For fiscal year estates, file Form 1041 by
the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the tax year. For
example, an estate that has a tax year that ends on June 30, 2019, must
file Form 1041 by October 15, 2019. If the due date falls on a Saturday,
Sunday, or legal holiday, file on the next business day.
