Key Filing Tips

  • E-file Recommended : The IRS urges electronic filing via approved software (e.g., TaxBandits, TaxZerone) for faster processing, error checks, and free corrections—avoiding mail delays.
  • Deadlines : Typically April 30, July 31, Oct 31, Jan 31 (for prior Q4); extensions possible but payments aren't.
  • Proof of Mailing : Use USPS certified mail or IRS-approved private delivery (FedEx/UPS) for tracking.
  • Zero Returns : File even if no wages paid—check box for consent if authorizing third-party review.

TL;DR : Check your state and payment status above; e-file if possible for 2025/2026 filings.
