File information returns (Form 1099) for certain payments you made during 2009. There are different forms for different types of payments. These are government filing copies for the 1099s issued to service providers and others (see February 1).

If you file Forms 1098, 1099, or W-2G electronically, your due date for filing them with the IRS will be extended to March 31. The due date for giving the recipient these forms was February 1.

15 Corporations
File a 2009 calendar year income tax return (Form 1120 or 1120-A) and pay any tax due. If you need an automatic 6-month extension of time to file the return, file Form 7004, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File Certain Business Income Tax, Information and Other Returns, and deposit what you estimate you owe. Filing this extension protects you from late filing penalties but not late payment penalties, so it is important that you estimate your liability and deposit it using the instructions on Form 7004.

The due date of March 15 applies even if the partnership calendar requests an extension of time to file the Form 1065-B by filing Form 7004.
