The tax year, month by month
Federal and Florida deadlines for businesses and individuals, on one dial. Tap a month to see what is due. Jerome's clients get these as reminders, with the amounts already worked out.
Dates are for calendar-year filers. When a date lands on a weekend or federal holiday, it moves to the next business day. Florida sales tax is due monthly for most filers (some file quarterly or yearly).

Common questions
When are quarterly estimated taxes due?
April 15, June 15, September 15 and January 15 of the following year. The periods are not equal quarters, so the June payment covers only two months of income.
When is Form 941 due?
By the last day of the month after each quarter ends: April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31. Payroll tax deposits are due separately, monthly or semiweekly, through EFTPS.
When is Florida sales tax due?
Florida sales and use tax returns are due on the 1st and considered late after the 20th of the month following the reporting period. Most businesses file monthly; smaller ones may be assigned quarterly, semiannual or annual filing.
Does an extension give me more time to pay?
No. An extension gives more time to file the return. Any tax owed is still due by the original deadline, and interest and penalties apply to late payments.
