The tax year for individual and most businesses is the same as the Calendar Year. This is January 1st to December 31st. Certain business types can elect ad Fiscal Year which is still a full twelve months but for some reason their Fiscal year starts on a different day of the year.

Starting a business how do you file taxes with the IRS?

== == You must figure your taxable income and file an income tax return based on an annual accounting period called a tax year. A tax year is usually 12 consecutive months. There are two kinds of tax years. # Calendar tax year. A calendar tax year is 12 consecutive months beginning January 1 and ending December 31. # Fiscal tax year. A fiscal tax year is 12 consecutive months ending on the last day of any month except December. A 52-53-week tax year is a fiscal tax year that varies from 52 to 53 weeks but does not have to end on the last day of a month. If you file your first tax return using the calendar tax year and you later begin business as a sole proprietor, become a partner in a partnership, or become a shareholder in an S corporation, you must continue to use the calendar year unless you get IRS approval to change it or are otherwise allowed to change it without IRS approval. You must use a calendar tax year if: * You keep no books. * You have no annual accounting period. * Your present tax year does not qualify as a fiscal year. * You are required to use a calendar year by a provision of the Internal Revenue Code or the Income Tax Regulations. For more information, see Publication 538, Accounting Periods and Methods. First-time filer. If you have never filed an income tax return, you adopt either a calendar tax year or a fiscal tax year. You adopt a tax year by filing your first income tax return using that tax year. You have not adopted a tax year if you merely did any of the following. * Filed an application for an extension of time to file an income tax return. * Filed an application for an employer identification number. * Paid estimated taxes for that tax year.

The withholding tax rate is based on the W-4 form you complete at the beginning of each tax year.
