Your Business's IRS Forms Are Due This Week!

It’s getting down to the nitty-gritty for IRS return filing for business owners!

Not only are your 1099 Forms due by this Friday (well, except for the 1099-MISCs reporting nonemployee compensation that were due January 31), your Affordable Care Act Forms 1094 and 1095 are due as well! And this is the e-filing deadline so, if for some reason, you were thinking of sending in paper forms: don’t. They’ll be counted as late, you’ll incur a late-filing penalty, and you’ll be making the whole ordeal a lot more difficult for yourself - especially since e-filing is the easier, more secure option for filing anyway.

You may remember last year and years before when W-2 Forms were due March 31 as well. Unfortunately - and we tried to warn you! - the IRS changed the W-2 deadline for 2016 tax year forms to January 31, 2017. If you missed the memo, try to get these forms in as soon as possible, but remember there’s a chance you’ll receive IRS penalties anyway.

At any rate, this year for the 2016 tax year, Forms 1099 and ACA Forms 1094 and 1095 are due this Friday, March 31, 2017.

Of course, ExpressIRSForms is here to help you get those forms e-filed correctly and securely on time, but if you’re still a little hesitant, we’ve also got another card to play: Form 8809. Form 8809 is the extension form for information returns like Forms 1099 and 1094/1095 and when you apply, you get an automatic 30-day extension to get your forms to the IRS. Don’t even have to have an excuse or anything! You can e-file Form 8809 and get your extension confirmation email all in just a few hours - and for only $3.55 - with ExpressIRSForms!

You can even go ahead and e-file a Form 8809 and if you still get your other forms in on time, you’re golden! The IRS doesn’t care if you apply for an extension and don’t use it, but they do very much care if you don’t apply for an extension and end up being late.

So, to get started, just log into your ExpressIRSForms account, click the big, orange Start New Form button, and get going on your 8809, 1099, and/or ACA Forms! And if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team: we’re available Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST by phone (704-684-4751) and live chat. And we also provide 24/7 assistance at support@ExpressIRSForms.com!

You Still Have Until TODAY to File Form 7004!

Have you filed a Form 7004 to extend the amount of time you have to file your business tax return forms yet?

Well, what are you waiting for - the new deadline’s today!

The deadline for Form 7004, which is normally March 15 - the same day your business taxes are due* - was extended last week by the IRS due to Winter Storm Stella.

Since Stella blew through and caused quite a few delays for quite a few people, the IRS decided to extend the March 15, 2017, deadline for the 2016 tax year to March 20, 2017. Which is today! Now, your new, extended deadline date for when your return is due will remain the same, which will be either August 31, September 15, or October 15, 2017, depending on your business and the fiscal year it follows.

If you need somewhere to file Form 7004 really quickly, look no further than our sister product, ExpressExtension. With our simplified interview-style format, completing and e-filing your Form 7004 can be done in less than 10 minutes, and could get you up to seven extra months to file your forms. We’ll even send you an email confirmation when the IRS approves your extension request, something they don’t provide when you paper file.

The same friendly, expert customer support you’re used to with ExpressIRSForms is available to all our ExpressExtension users as well so if you have any questions about Form 7004 or how to e-file, don’t hesitate to give us a call!

*Remember: Form 7004 does not give you more time to pay any taxes due by March 15 for your business's 2016 tax year. If you still owe any taxes, you'll need to remit them to the IRS as soon as possible.

for your business?

Are you not exactly ready to file one (or more) of these forms by tomorrow?

If you answered yes and then no, it’s time to head on over to ExpressExtension to e-file your Form 7004, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File Certain Business Income Tax, Information, and other Returns. It only takes a few minutes and you’ll get anywhere from five and a half to seven extra months to file your return.

Important Note: Form 7004 does not extend the amount of time you have to pay any business taxes you owe to the IRS. Unfortunately, those are still due by their original deadline. BUT it does give you a few months to get everything in order so you can file a complete, correct return.

One of the easiest ways to apply for an extension with Form 7004 is with ExpressExtension. All you need is your business’s EIN, basic contact info, and the name of the form for which you’re extending the deadline. You don’t even need to include a reason why you need more time, so long as you have the information mentioned, you’ll automatically receive more time to file!

When you e-file with ExpressExtension, your form is double checked by the system to be sure it’s free of errors, and after you submit your form, you’ll get an email from us when it’s been approved. You should see this approval email within 24 hours of submitting your form.

And then voila! You’ve got 5½ - 7 more months to file! Easy as that.

If you have any questions once you’re over at ExpressExtension, we’d be happy to help in any way we can! Just give us a call (803-514-5155) or send us a live chat Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST or send us an email anytime at support@ExpressExtension.com!
