Jakyasar Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hi Reading Notice 2021-59 and looks like all sole-proprietorship 2020 filings have been extended to May 17th. I did not see anything on C-corps, correct? Also, with this extension, all contribution deadlines have been extended to May 17th as well, correct? Looks like all all states have extended the April 15th deadline except for a few that are pending. There are also a few states that do not have state taxes. Whether a state extends or not, the 2020 contribution deadline is on federal level and extended to May 17th. Is this correct? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the IRS extends a tax filing deadline for an entity, that extends the time to make a deductible contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KdGal Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 C-Corporation due date was not extended. The extension to May 17th only applies to individual taxpayers (including Schedule C sole proprietors). It also extends the date to make IRA contributions for individual taxpayers to May 17th as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this apply for DB minimum funding as well, or if a DB plan has a minimum required contribution, then it would still be due (the minimum required portion of the contribution) by 8.5 months after the plan year end.- and the rest of the contribution up to the maximum , can be made up until the new due date of the return? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. For timeliness of minimum funding under 412, that remains as 8.5 months after PYE. You can get some situations where a contribution is timely for minimum funding but not for deductibility in a particular year and vice a versa depending on dates which can be different. Sometimes this can be used to your advantage in planning sometimes it bites you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
