    Final tax return

    How do you file a final return for a C Corp entity with a 12/31 year end when the 2020 tax forms have not been released?

    12/31/2020 is not here yet.

    If the C Corp has terminated in 2020, the termination date is the short year end, not 12/31. If this is your situation, you can paper file it on 2019 forms, marking the correct dates and year manually. Or file an extension and maybe 2020 forms will be ready by the extended due date.
