FAQ

About the Form 8822-B filler.

What does the $9 Blank tier include?

The $9 Blank tier delivers the official IRS Form 8822-B PDF for you to fill yourself, mail, or fax. The paid tiers add convenience: we fill it from your inputs, print and mail it to you, or e-file it instantly through our IRS-authorized MeF portal.

Is Form 8822-B e-fileable?

Yes. Form 8822-B is accepted through the IRS MeF (Modernized e-File) system. Our $49 tier submits directly through MeF the same minute. Typical IRS acknowledgement returns within seconds, with the full electronic transmission record retained for your audit trail.

What's the deadline for Form 8822-B?

March 15 for partnerships (Form 1065) and S-Corps (Form 1120-S). April 15 for C-Corps (Form 1120) and trusts (Form 1041). Fiscal-year entities use the 15th day of the third or fourth month after the close of the tax year. The extension is automatic if filed by the original deadline.

Does Form 8822-B extend time to pay taxes?

No. Form 8822-B extends only the time to file the return. Taxes owed are still due by the original deadline. Underpayment triggers the failure-to-pay penalty (0.5% per month, capped at 25%) plus interest. The filler shows your estimated balance due on the right side so you can pay through EFTPS by the original deadline.

Is my data saved?

Your inputs autosave to your browser (localStorage) so you can come back later. No data goes to our servers until you choose a paid tier and pay. EINs are never transmitted in the free tier.

Can I file Form 8822-B on the deadline day?

Yes. The Instant e-file tier accepts submissions up to 11:55 PM ET on the deadline date. MeF processes within minutes; the IRS treats any Form 8822-B e-filed by 11:59 PM local time on the deadline as on-time.
