Fiscal Deadlines
The standard Federal tax deadline, if not using the Dec 31st year-end date, is 3.5 months after the end of the month in which the tax year ends.
One exception- tax years that end in June have a Sept 15th due date. (June 30th is Australia’s year end, so a lot of companies that have their US fiscal year match their Australian activities can be affected by this).
Common fiscal years – we also see are March 30th for UK related companies, and January 31st for tech companies that want to emulate Salesforce.
Dissolution: When companies close they use a fiscal year end date for their deadlines after the month they dissolve with the state.
