To give employers more cash in their paychecks, businesses were given the option to postpone withdrawing the employee’s share of payroll taxes on salaries earned between September 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020. Beginning March 27, 2020, you were given the option to delay the employer’s share of payroll taxes. Payroll taxes suspended during this time frame must be collected by April 30, 2021. To offset the balance that was withheld last year, you’ll need to subtract extra payroll tax from workers’ checks for the first four months of 2021. These taxes should be deposited in accordance with the daily salary withholding plan.

The tax filing deadline was March 15 for several companies, like most S corporations and partnerships. Since the move was announced after the deadline, this deadline remained unchanged. For C corporations, the April 15 deadline remains the same. Since sole proprietorships follow the same tax code as corporations, their 2020 returns must be filed by April 15, 2021. By filing Form 7004 along with a deposit equal to the amount of expected tax due, partnerships and S corporations may seek a six-month extension. The annual tax return, with interest and fees, is due on September 15 in this situation. Corporate tax returns for taxes earned in 2020 must be submitted by April 15, 2021. Businesses may use Form 1120 or file Form 7004 to make a deposit for the amount of expected tax owed to seek a six-month extension. This is also the deadline for the first quarterly projected tax payment of the year. You have until October 15 to file your income tax return using Form 1120 if your company has requested an extension. At this point, you’ll have to pay fines, interest, and any residual tax.
