Q3 Corporate Tax Deadline Is Here
Missing your corporate estimated tax payment can lead to IRS penalties, interest charges, and cash flow issues. For the Q3 deadline of September 15, 2025, corporations need to ensure timely filing to stay compliant.
Who Needs to Pay Corporate Estimated Taxes?
- Corporations expecting to owe $500+ in federal taxes
- Entities using Form 1120-W to calculate their payments
To avoid penalties, pay 90% of your 2025 tax liability or 100% of 2024’s liability.
State-Specific Corporate Tax Deadlines
While many states align with the federal Sept 15 deadline, some differ:
- Florida → September 30, 2025
- Indiana → September 20, 2025
- Iowa → September 30, 2025
- Michigan → October 15, 2025
States like Nevada, Wyoming, and Ohio have no corporate estimated tax obligations.
Risks of Missing the Deadline
- IRS underpayment penalties
- Accrued interest on unpaid taxes
Missing Q3 could also increase the risk of IRS scrutiny during year-end filings.
