Do i file my 2017 1120 business taxes first or do i file my personal taxes first

If your company is a C Corp (filing Form 1120) it does not matter whether you file your business return or personal return first.  If, on the other hand, you were an S Corp (filing a Form 1120-S) or a partnership (filing Form 1065), you would need to file your business return(s) first.  That's because an S Corp and a Partnership return generates Form K-1s that are needed by the shareholders/partners in order to prepare and file their personal returns.

The 2019 filing deadline for Form 1120 has been delayed until July 15, 2020.

And remember, corporation tax returns are due March 15th, not April 15th like personal returns...so be sure you don't file that C-Corp late!

@Lisa995   Hasn't the due date for C-corporations changed to April?  I know S-corporations are March, but I think C-corporations are April.

C Corporations are April 15.  <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.aicpa.org/interestareas/tax/resources/compliance/downloadabledocuments/due-dates-summary...>
