Changing your annual return filing month
Choose which month your next return is due
When you incorporate your company, we will tell you which month your annual returns will be due. You can change your annual return filing month.
When you can change your annual return filing month
You can only change your company's annual return filing month if the annual return for the current year is not due or overdue. For example, if your annual return is due in March, you must change your filing month before the end of February.
You can't change your filing month to December or January.
