Who has to file Form 7004 extension?
Corporations that use IRS Form 1120 to file annual federal taxes with a calendar year-end date of December 31 can file Form 7004 on or before the corporate tax deadline. With the six-month extension, your new due date is October 15.
Deadline
The annual deadline for the Form 7004 Filing is July 15th for Fiscal year companies. With the six-month extension, your new Corporate Tax Filing deadline is January 15.
Amount
While the form itself does not require a fee, if you owe taxes, you must pay the estimated tax liability by the original due date of the return (even if you file the extension). Failing to pay the owed taxes by the deadline may result in penalties and interest.
Pro tip
Note that Form 7004 does not extend the time to pay any tax due! If your US corporation made any profits, you'll need to pay 21% of this in tax to the IRS by 15th April for Calendar year companies.
