  • File a 2017 calendar-year retirement plan report (Form 5500 or Form 5500-EZ) or ask for an extension.
August 10th
  • If you deposited on time and fully paid all associated taxes, report income tax withholding and FICA taxes for second quarter 2018 (Form 941).
September 17th
  • If you are a calendar-year C corporation, pay the third portion of your 2018 estimated income taxes.
  • If you are a calendar-year S corporation or partnership that filed an automatic six-month extension:
