🔍 FAQ Section

❓What if I incorporated in late 2024?

You may still owe 2024 tax filings (even with $0 activity). Talk to a startup tax advisor or use TaxHero AI to auto-detect your obligations.

❓What if I use a fiscal year instead of calendar year?

Your Form 1120 deadline is the 15th day of the 4th month after your fiscal year-end. This calendar assumes a standard Jan 1 – Dec 31 fiscal year.

❓Is the 83(b) election on this calendar?

It should be tracked internally. It’s due 30 days from your equity grant, not on a fixed date. Learn more here → 83(b) Election Guide
