Single member LLC & individuals (forms 1040/1040NR)

The law states that there are four main filing dates for U.S. tax returns:

1. April 15^th following the end of the fiscal year.
2. (the most relevant for most of our customers) – filing the tax return by June 15^th following the end of the fiscal year.

An American or Israeli citizen who lives outside U.S. borders is allowed an automatic 2-month extension to file his/her tax return (i.e. June 15^th) only if he/she meet the following criteria:

• Lives outside U.S. borders correct to April 15^th.
• The main occupation of the citizen is outside U.S. borders.

To be entitled to the extension a statement must be enclosed with the tax return.

3. Filing the tax return by October 15^th following the end of the fiscal year. To receive This extension a request must be filed using form 4868. The estimated tax should be paid at the time the extension is filed.
4. filing the tax return by December 15^th following the end of the fiscal year by requesting an additional extension of two months under certain conditions. *

Please note:

• Filing for an extension does not exempt you from paying the tax in time. Even if an extension is given for filing of the tax return, overdue payment of the tax will result in fines and interest on the date of payment.
• Filing for an extension is especially significant in cases where the submitter of the return is a business owner in Israel, the person submitting the report holds more than 50% of an Israeli company and if there is a prediction of tax liability when the return is filed.
