April 15th isn't just a date, it’s a stress test for your back office.
If you’re running a Delaware C-Corp, you know the drill. You think you have time, then suddenly it’s April 14th, your bank sync is broken, and your CPA is ghosting you because they have 100 other founders in the same boat.
A few reminders for the 2026 tax season:
- Zero income ≠ Zero paperwork: Even if you’re pre-revenue, the IRS still requires Form 1120. No filing, no compliance.
- Extensions buy time, not money: You can file for an extension to submit your paperwork in October, but any taxes owed are still due now.
- Due Diligence starts here: Investors don’t just look at your code; they look at your tax returns. Messy filings are a major red flag during your next round.
We built TaxHero AI so you don’t have to play accountant every spring. We handle the prep and the calendar, so April 15th is just another Tuesday for you.
Stop scrambling. Build the product, we’ll handle the IRS.
