After you file

If the IRS is saying you never filed, you can call customer support for help in proving you did file a return.

 

If the IRS is saying you filed late, they are right.  The deadline for C and S-corp returns is March 15, not April 15.  This year, the IRS extended all deadlines that fell after April 1 to July 15, but that means the March 15 corporate filing deadline was not extended.  The penalty for late filing an S-corp or LLC return is $195 per month per shareholder or member.

 

Here is how to request a penalty abatement.
