Corporate Fiscal Year

Q:

Subject: Choosing A Fiscal Year
 
Hi,
 
I read your article on choosing a fiscal year, and, as a recently new (solo) owner of a Corporation (in the state of Delaware), I just was wondering what's the best month to choose as the start of a fiscal year?
 
I literally just incorporated a week ago (May 12th, 2005).
 
Thanks for any helpful info,

 

A:

I just added some more info to my page on choosing a tax year that discusses the ideal month to use. 

If you do use the June 30 date, this will mean that your first tax return will be a very short year, from May 12, 2005 through June 30, 2005.  If that concerns you, you may want to opt for the next best choice, March 31.

Good luck.
