Here are some quick definitions of various returns:
- 1040 for Individual Personal tax returns - Need to be filed
by each taxpayer by April 15th or later if an extension is filed.
Filing can be either on paper or electronically. Simple returns can be
prepared using home programs but more complex returns should be
prepared professionally.
We file all 1040's electronically at no additional cost.
- 1120 for Corporations
- Due 2 1/2 months after the end of the corporations year or later if
an extension is filed. Special rules for Subchapter S Corporations.
These should be prepared professionally since there are many pitfalls,
especially for Sub-S corporations.
- 1065 for Partnerships - Due 3 1/2 months after the end
of the year, or later if an extension is filed. A partnership must use
the year end of the majority of its partners. If the partners are all
individuals that means December 31. A Partnership return should be
prepared professionally.
- 1041 for Trusts - Due 3 1/2 months after the end of
the year or later if an extension is filed. Trusts usually use a
December 31st end of the year unless it was created as part of an
estate. These should be prepared professionally.
- 990 for Non-Profit Organizations - Due 4 1/2 months
after the end of the year or later if an extension is filed. If Gross
Receipts are less than $25,000 per year then no return is required. A
Non-Profit Organization MUST meet government guidelines and apply for a
Tax-exempt status. Unrelated business income IS taxable. These should
be prepared professionally.
- 709 for Gift taxes - Due at the same time as your
individual income taxes if gifts exceed $11,000.00 per year per
individual from either spouse. Relatively easy but there are pitfalls.
There is no tax until your lifetime taxable gifts exceed $1,000,000,
but you will have to file returns once you exceed the annual exclusion.
- 706 for Estates
- Due if net assets of decedent exceeds the current threshold of
$1,500,000 ($2,000,000 in 2006) after deducting amounts passing to
spouse (if any). An attorney WILL be required if you have property that
needs to have title transferred to the heirs. If due, this form should
be prepared professionally.
