Can I extend the deadline for filing my tax forms?
Some tax forms are eligible for extensions, depending on the form and filing requirements. You must generally submit the appropriate extension request by the original deadline. An extension to file with the IRS does not necessarily extend the deadline for furnishing recipient copies.
Learn more about which extension form applies to each tax form.
When are Forms 5500-SF and 5500-EZ due?
The deadlines for Forms 5500-SF and 5500-EZ depend on the plan’s tax year-end. These forms are generally due by the last day of the seventh month following the end of the plan year. Eligible filers may request an extension using Form 5558.
What are the penalties for missing IRS filing deadlines?
For information returns due in 2026, the IRS may impose the following penalties for each return filed late or each recipient statement furnished late:
- $60 per return or statement: If corrected within 30 days after the due date.
- $130 per return or statement: If corrected more than 30 days late but by August 1.
- $340 per return or statement: If corrected after August 1 or not filed.
- $680 per return or statement: For intentional disregard of filing or furnishing requirements. No maximum penalty applies in these cases.
These penalties may apply separately to IRS filings and recipient statements. Annual maximums vary depending on the filer’s business size and the circumstances. Additional penalties may apply to other types of tax returns or failures.
