April 18 Deadline – 1040/1041/1120/990-T (Trusts)
Tuesday, April 18, 2023, is the 2023 filing deadline for the individual, fiduciary, corporation, and calendar-year exempt organization trust returns, as well as associated extensions. These returns must be e-filed or postmarked by midnight local time.
Drake Software® strongly suggests that you e-file several hours before the deadline to ensure a timely filing.
The perfection period for rejected returns is five calendar days for Form 1040 and 10 calendar days for Forms 1041, 1120, and 990-T (Trusts). You can retransmit the return more than once during the perfection period; any transmission after the perfection period is considered late. The perfection period is not an extension. If a return is not filed by the deadline, there is no perfection period.
Extension Form 4868 for individual returns and Form 8868 for exempt organization trust returns extend the filing deadline by six months (to Monday, October 16, 2023). Extension Form 7004 extends the filing deadline for corporation returns to six months (to Monday, October 16, 2023) and fiduciary returns to five and a half months (to Monday, October 2, 2023).
IRS Balance Due Payment by Credit Card
Taxpayers can pay their balance due by check or bank account withdrawal. In some cases, they may want or need to pay by credit card. You can help taxpayers pay by credit card through the IRS-authorized Integrated File and Pay process (IFP). You do not have to sign up to offer this service—it is already integrated into Drake Tax. Taxpayers can also use the Drake Software E-Payment Center anytime at 1040PayTax.com to pay a balance due by credit or debit card (see Pay Federal/State Balance Due by Credit or Debit Card on the Drake Software Knowledge Base, article 12347).
