Next-month deadline list
July 2026 starts with IRS business-tax calendar items and includes the Friday, July 3 federal observance for Independence Day.
Last verified June 15, 2026
This page is built for a June 2026 planning window. It focuses on July 2026 dates that have not started yet, using official IRS, OPM, USPS, and Federal Reserve sources. It is not a personal tax calendar and does not decide which IRS rule applies to a particular reader.
July 2026 federal dates at a glance
| Date | Official-source item | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| July 1, 2026 | IRS third-quarter calendar lists Form 11-C annual wagering-tax registration/payment and a semiweekly payroll deposit item. | Whether the wagering-tax or semiweekly payroll rule applies. Most general readers can treat this as a specialized business item. |
| July 3, 2026 | OPM lists Friday, July 3, 2026 as the observed Independence Day holiday for most federal employees because July 4 falls on a Saturday. | Federal office status, agency-specific public hours, and whether a private employer follows the federal schedule. |
| July 4, 2026 | USPS lists Independence Day on Saturday, July 4, 2026, with a Saturday-holiday note for some USPS employees. | Local post office hours, package service exceptions, and USPS service alerts near the holiday weekend. |
| July 10, 2026 | IRS calendar lists the employee tip-reporting date for June tips of $20 or more. | Employer procedure and whether the reader is an employee with reportable tips. |
| July 15, 2026 | IRS calendar lists monthly payroll-tax deposit timing for payments made in June, plus a semiweekly deposit item. | Whether the employer uses the monthly or semiweekly deposit rule. Do not infer this from a public article. |
| July 31, 2026 | IRS calendar lists a cluster of business items including Form 941 for the second quarter, Form 720, Form 2290, Form 730, FUTA deposit if over the threshold, and certain plan filings. | The exact form, tax period, threshold, deposit history, and any disaster or agency-specific extension. |
Why this page starts in July
Deadline pages work best when they are published before the search window, not after readers have already missed the date. For a site checked in June, the useful page is a July list. In September, the useful page would be an October list. This monthly-forward rule keeps Punilog from filling the site with already-passed dates that have little chance of useful search demand.
The July 2026 list is also intentionally selective. The IRS third-quarter calendar includes many payroll deposit dates, but a general public page should not pretend that every date applies to every business. This calendar highlights the dates that are most likely to become search queries while pointing readers back to the official IRS calendar for the full detail.
How to use the list
- If you are checking a closure, start with OPM for federal offices, USPS for postal schedules, and Federal Reserve sources for bank-system context.
- If you are checking an IRS item, open the IRS third-quarter calendar and confirm the date, form, tax period, and rule language.
- If the item depends on a threshold, deposit schedule, employment status, or business activity, treat this page as a pointer, not a decision.
- Keep screenshots or downloaded confirmations from the official source if the date matters to a filing record.
- Check disaster-relief pages or direct agency notices if your location or account may have a special extension.

Planning boundary
This is a forward-looking July 2026 list
As of the June 2026 planning window, this cluster starts with July 2026 dates. It is meant for readers looking ahead to the next calendar month, not for explaining deadlines that have already passed.
Some IRS items in July are specialized business or payroll dates. Punilog lists them because the IRS third-quarter calendar lists them, but the page deliberately avoids deciding whether a reader is covered by a payroll deposit rule, excise-tax form, employee benefit plan filing, or wagering-tax requirement.
