On July 31, 2015, President Obama signed the Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Improvement Act of 2015 (H.R. 3236). Section 2006 of the Act amends various provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to change various tax return due dates.
Some of the more exciting changes:
1. Beginning with the 2016 calendar tax year, the Form 1065 (for a partnership) will be due March 15, 2017. Thus, partnership and S corporation returns will be due on the same day.
2. Beginning with the 2016 calendar tax year, Form 1120 (for a C corporation) will be due April 15, 2017 (actually, a few days later, as April 15, 2017 falls on a Saturday).
