A small business tax calendar organized by type of tax
This small business tax calendar lists the recurring federal deadlines most owners face, grouped by type of tax instead of crammed into one confusing list. Because it isn’t tied to a single year, you can use it every year. In addition, the included calendar file drops the key dates straight into Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar.
Who it’s for
It’s built for small business owners, self-employed professionals, and new employers who handle their own deadlines or want a clear view of what their bookkeeper is filing. It also works well for advisors who want a simple handout for clients.
What the small business tax calendar helps you do
- See every recurring deadline for each type of tax at a glance
- Plan cash ahead of quarterly estimated tax payments
- Keep payroll deposits and filings on schedule
- Avoid late-filing and late-payment penalties
What’s included
- Printable PDF calendar, organized by tax type: income tax, estimated tax, payroll tax, sales tax, and information returns
- Importable calendar file (.ics) with recurring reminders
- Notes on weekend and holiday due-date rules
How it works
First, find the sections that apply to your business. Next, import the calendar file so reminders show up automatically. Then, hand the printed calendar to whoever handles your bookkeeping. Finally, review it each January, because your filing obligations can change as your business grows.
Why a tax calendar matters
Missed deadlines are one of the most common and most avoidable costs in a small business. For official dates, you can also check the IRS online tax calendar. To plan the amounts behind those dates, pair this calendar with our small business tax planning workbook.
Small business tax calendar FAQ
Does the calendar change every year? No. It lists recurring deadlines by type of tax, so it works year after year. However, when a due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, it moves to the next business day, and the notes explain how that works.
Does it include state deadlines? It focuses on federal deadlines. Because state and local due dates vary, add your own state dates to the calendar file after you import it.
