irs forms

The short answer is no. They typically are finalized and available by January 15th. However, the current situation in Congress has “delayed” the final tax code for 2018. Congress has released memo’s to tax servicers stating finalized forms may not be available until February or March next year. Congress and the president have made so many changes that the tax code, which is normally pretty much finalized in November, may not be finalized until after Congress’s christmas break. It’s going to be a challenging tax year so be prepared and keep informed.

The penalties are for not paying the 941 tax on time according to the payment schedule, which depends on the amount of tax. Small companies may be required to pay only quarterly or monthly, but larger companies have payments due within 3 business days after every payroll. The penalties depend on how late the payments are, bit they go up rapidly, and can be 100% if there is no payment.There is often no penalty for not filing the 941 on time if the payments have been made, but the IRS will be sending you a lot of mail to get it filed.

Sure, I can address tax issues here. A tax person understanding the pertinent tax law will file a Treasury Information report (Form 5472) for a dormant LLC if the noted information below applies.First a LLC wholly owned by a foreign person represents a reporting corporation for tax years 2017 forward (Treasury Regulation Section 1.6038A-1(c)(1)) and -1(n)(1)). Second, Treasury requires the report if the reporting corporation (one member foreign owned LLC) has any reportable transactions (Treasury Regulation Section 1.6038A-2(a)(1)).However, a person may think — well a dormant LLC would not have any reportable transactions. As Treasury Regulation 1.6038A-2(e)(1) says no Form 5472 required if the reporting corporation has no reportable transactions.But, we see reportable transactions include monies the member spent for the benefit of the LLC (Treasury Regulation Section 1.6038A-2(b)(3)(xi)) with reference to Treasury Regulation 1.482-1(i)(7)). As an example, the foreign member paying legal fees for forming the LLC or the foreign member paying annual state franchise tax fees represent reportable transactions under this tax law provision.Failure to file the Treasury Information Report or filing an incomplete report may result in a $25,000 penalty under Section 6038A-(d). And, the reporting corporation files the return by 15 April 2018 for the 2017 tax year or the 15 April 2019 for the 2018 tax year (Treasury Regulation Section 301-7701-2(c)(2)(vi)(C)(1)).However, we can use a reasonable cause defense tax law wording as means for completing late filings and potentially removing the penalty following Treasury Regulation Section 1.6038A-4(b)).I have completed the above tax analysis based on a one foreign member 100% owned LLC. As the situation changes the tax results may vary also. www.rst.tax
