Apparently, the 1120-H tax form is due on March 15th. I sorta filed it on April 16. Is our association going to jail?

Only the person who filed it will have to do the time for the crime on the behalf of the HOA... Worse case you will pay a fine...

Typically not too much of an issue as long as there is no tax due.

Worst case, you will get a bill for a late filing penalty.

Even then, the penalty for filing late is a percentage of the tax due. So, if there is no tax due, you might just get a nasty letter.

Just be on time next year. All "corporate" forms (which include 1120-H, are due on March 15th.

I did the same last year, I think there was a 10% penalty, since our tax was around $70, we were charged around $7.00.

Ron,

You may want to create an Association calendar of events for your Board. It's basic items that need to be done yearly and can provide a check off list or simply be used as a reference. I've attached a copy of the one I created for our Association as an example.

As I noted previously, the penalty is a percentage of the tax due. If there is no tax due, there will be no penalty. Your association can earn at least up to $100 in non-exempt income before there will be any tax due.
