Many 2012 Business Tax Filings Can Start on Monday, February 4th, With Exceptions.
(Parker Tax Publishing February 2, 2013)

According to the IRS, they will begin accepting many of the 2012 Corporate (Form 1120 series), Partnership (Forms 1065/1065-B), and Tax Exempt Organization (Form 990 series) income tax returns on Monday, February 4, 2013, with the exception of filers claiming depreciation deductions and various energy and business tax credits. The IRS plans to accept the remaining tax returns in late February or early March.

In general, this means any business attaching Form 3800 (General Business Credits), Form 4562 (Depreciation and Amortization) or any of the other forms listed below, should wait to file their 2012 tax return at the later date. A specific date will be announced in the near future.

In addition, Form 8849 Schedule 3, Claim for Refund of Excise Taxes, is not currently being accepted electronically, but it can be filed on paper.

Dear Tax Professional,

My name is James Levey, and a few years back I founded a company named Kleinrock Publishing. I started Kleinrock out of frustration with the prohibitively high prices and difficult search engines of BNA, CCH, and RIA tax research products ... kind of reminiscent of the situation practitioners face today.

Now that Kleinrock has disappeared into CCH, prices are soaring again and ease-of-use has fallen by the wayside. The needs of smaller firms and sole practitioners are simply not being met.

To address the problem, I’ve partnered with a group of highly talented tax writers to create Parker Tax Publishing ... a company dedicated to the idea that comprehensive, authoritative tax information service can be both easy-to-use and highly affordable.

Our product, the Parker Tax Pro Library, is breathtaking in its scope. Check out the contents listing to the left to get a sense of all the valuable material you'll have access to when you subscribe.

Or better yet, take a minute to sign yourself up for a free trial, so you can experience first-hand just how easy it is to get results with the Pro Library!

Sincerely,

James Levey
