April 15: 3 things to keep in mind for your C-Corp
Founders, let’s be real: April 15th is the most stressful day of the year if you’re doing it wrong.
Between Delaware Franchise Tax and Federal Form 1120, the paperwork can feel like a second job. But here’s the thing, you didn’t start a company to fill out forms.
3 things to keep in mind for your C-Corp:
Zero income ≠ Zero paperwork: Even if you’re pre-revenue, the IRS still requires Form 1120. No filing, no compliance.
Extensions buy time, not money: You can file for an extension to submit your paperwork in October, but any taxes owed are still due now.
Due Diligence starts here: Investors don’t just look at your code; they look at your tax returns. Messy filings are a major red flag during your next round.
