Spring is already here and so are the March tax deadlines for businesses. We can’t do much about allergy season, but business owners can push back their business income tax deadlines for 2023 Tax Year.
There are only a few days left to request an extension with Form 7004. Here’s everything you need to know about getting more time to file:
What is Form 7004?
Form 7004 is an IRS Extension Form that provides an automatic extension for a bunch of different business income tax returns. Businesses don’t have to state any reason for their extension, they can just file this form and get extra time. The IRS grants businesses who file Form 7004 up to six extra months to meet their income tax filing deadlines.
Form 7004 doesn’t extend payment deadlines, so businesses do still need to pay on time, but they have more time to file all the correct forms with the IRS.
