Each
FCC, unless specifically exempt or dissolved,
must file a tax return. This is true even if it
had no taxable income for the year and regardless
of the amount of gross income for the year.
If
an FCC's income tax return is made on a calendar
year basis, it must be filed by March 15 following
the close of the tax year. If an FCC uses a fiscal
year, its return must be filed by the 15th day
of the 3rd month following the close of its fiscal
year. A corporation can receive an automatic 6-month
extension of time for filing its return by filing
Form 7004.
An
FCC files its income tax return with the Internal
Revenue Service Center serving the area where
the principal office for keeping its books and
records is located.
