Your tax calendar — live, from today
A foreign-owned LLC's year has four seasons. Find the current one (highlighted), do its short list, and nothing ever becomes an emergency. Full date detail lives in the deadline calendar.
Your next deadlines, counted down
Computed from today’s date. Answer three questions to personalize it — nothing you enter leaves your browser.
Dates falling on weekends or holidays can shift to the next business day — we confirm exact dates before filing. General information, not tax advice.
Filing season
The main event. Everything is due or extended by April 15.
- →Send in documents early — bank statements, EIN letter, formation papers
- →File Form 5472 + pro forma 1120 (or Form 7004 to extend to Oct 15)
- →Form 1040-NR due Apr 15 if you had U.S. wages with withholding
- →FBAR nominal date Apr 15 (auto-extends to Oct 15 for U.S. persons)
The non-resident window
A second checkpoint most people don’t know exists.
- →Form 1040-NR due Jun 15 for non-residents without U.S. wages
- →Missed April 15 with no extension? File now — before any IRS notice
- →New LLC this year? Get the EIN and open clean business banking
Extension season
Quiet months — exactly why extended returns should be finished now, not on Oct 14.
- →Finish extended Form 5472/1120 packages well before Oct 15
- →Extended FBAR also lands Oct 15 — no separate request needed
- →Behind on past years? Low season is the best time for a multi-year cleanup
- →Catch up your books while volume is low — year-end becomes a non-event
Year-end & get-ahead
What you do here decides whether spring is calm or chaos.
- →Close the year’s books — every owner contribution and withdrawal recorded
- →Confirm your address is current with the state and the IRS before notices season
- →Onboard with a preparer now — beat the January rush and lock founding pricing
- →Calendar next April 15 and your state annual-report month
Always on, whatever the season: your state annual report runs on its own clock (Wyoming: the first day of your anniversary month), and your address must stay current with both the state and the IRS — notices sent to a dead address still count as delivered.
Four situations, four next steps
“My LLC is brand new”
Get the EIN, open clean business banking, calendar next April 15. Your first Form 5472 covers this formation year — even with zero income.
“I filed a 7004”
Your real deadline is October 15 — and there is no extension behind it. Finish in the quiet months; send documents in now, not October 10th.
“I missed it — maybe for years”
File before any IRS notice, every open year at once, with one consistent reasonable-cause narrative. Acting first is the whole strategy.
“I’m current — keep me that way”
Tax-ready monthly books plus portal deadline reminders turn every future filing into a formality instead of a scramble.
