Tax Simplification: Easier Filings and Deadlines
This act simplifies tax procedures for small businesses by extending the deadline for S corporation elections. It also adjusts individual estimated tax payment due dates and applies the 'mailbox rule' to electronic submissions and payments, potentially easing daily tax compliance for citizens.
Key points
Extended time for small businesses to elect S corporation status, offering more flexibility in tax planning.
Adjusted quarterly estimated income tax payment due dates for individuals to July 15 and October 15, potentially improving personal financial management.
Electronic filings and payments will be considered timely if transmitted by the due date, not just received, enhancing convenience and security of e-services.
Allows for late S corporation revocations to be treated as timely if there was reasonable cause.
