IRS July list
The IRS third-quarter tax calendar lists July 2026 business, payroll, excise, and form deadlines from July 1 through July 31.
Last verified June 15, 2026
The broad July items include specialized July 1 entries, tip reporting on July 10, monthly payroll-tax deposit timing on July 15, several semiweekly payroll deposit dates, and a larger July 31 form cluster. This page groups the IRS list for planning, not for deciding whether any item applies.
Grouped July 2026 IRS items
| Group | Dates in July 2026 | Official-source meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Specialized July 1 items | July 1 | IRS lists Form 11-C registration/payment for businesses taking wagers and a semiweekly payroll deposit item for payments on June 24-26. |
| Semiweekly payroll deposit items | July 1, 6, 8, 15, 17, 22, 24, 29, and 31 | The IRS calendar lists these only if the semiweekly deposit rule applies to the covered payment dates. |
| Tip reporting | July 10 | IRS lists the date for employees to report June tips of $20 or more to employers. |
| Monthly payroll deposit item | July 15 | IRS lists the monthly deposit date for Social Security, Medicare, and withheld income tax for payments made in June if the monthly deposit rule applies. |
| Quarter-end and form cluster | July 31 | IRS lists Form 941 for the second quarter, Form 720, Form 730, Form 2290, FUTA deposit if above the threshold, certain Form 5500-related filings, and a small-employer deposit item. |
What makes July different from an individual tax-deadline page
Most individual calendar-year filers think of April 15, September 15, and October 15. July is different. The IRS July calendar is mainly a business and employer calendar. That makes it useful for small-business searches, payroll searches, and form-specific searches, but it also raises the risk of overgeneralizing. A reader should not assume that a July payroll deposit date applies unless the official deposit rule and payment period match the business record.
For that reason, this page uses cautious wording. It says “IRS lists” and “if the rule applies” rather than telling a business to file or pay. It also points back to the IRS third-quarter calendar, because the official page includes all dates in July, August, and September and tells taxpayers to check form-specific instructions and disaster-relief notices where relevant.
Before relying on a July tax date
- Open the IRS third-quarter tax calendar and confirm the exact date and description.
- Confirm the tax period. For example, July 31 Form 941 timing is tied to the second quarter.
- Confirm whether the item is a payroll deposit, a form filing, a tax payment, or a reporting step.
- Confirm whether the business uses a monthly or semiweekly deposit schedule before using a payroll deposit date.
- Check whether a disaster-relief notice, account notice, or form instruction changes the ordinary public calendar date.
What this page does not decide
This page does not decide employer status, deposit schedule, Form 941 requirement, FUTA liability, excise-tax filing, employee benefit plan filing, wagering-tax filing, vehicle first-use date, penalty exposure, or whether a special extension applies. It is a source-reviewed list for July 2026 planning and internal linking.

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.
