Questions

Delaware tax FAQs

10 answers about taxes in Delaware.

Do you prepare Delaware state tax returns?

Yes. We prepare resident, part-year and nonresident Delaware returns and file them with the Delaware Division of Revenue, together with your federal return.

When are Delaware individual returns due?

Many states follow the federal April 15 deadline, but some set their own dates. We track the Delaware Division of Revenue deadlines for you and file extensions when they are needed.

Does Delaware have a sales tax?

Delaware has no general statewide sales tax. Delaware businesses that sell into other states may still need to collect those states' sales tax once they pass economic nexus thresholds, and we review that for you.

What payroll registrations does a Delaware employer need?

Employers generally register with Delaware for unemployment insurance and state income tax withholding, plus any other state payroll programs that apply. We handle the registrations and the ongoing filings.

Do I need to make Delaware estimated tax payments?

If you have income without enough withholding, such as self-employment or investment income, Delaware generally expects estimated payments during the year, with its own thresholds and due dates. We calculate federal and state payments together.

How are LLCs and corporations taxed in Delaware?

Delaware applies its own rules to LLCs, S corporations and C corporations, and in some cases charges franchise, gross receipts or minimum taxes regardless of profit. We review how your entity is treated in Delaware before you form it or make an election.

I moved into or out of Delaware. What do I file?

Usually a part-year return for each state you lived in during the year, with credits so the same income is not taxed twice. Our multi-state filing service handles this.

Can you represent me with the Delaware Division of Revenue?

Yes. In addition to IRS matters, we respond to notices and audits from the Delaware Division of Revenue when you authorize us to.

Can a Delaware business work with BATS remotely?

Yes. We work with Delaware businesses through video meetings, secure document upload and cloud accounting software, so there is no need to visit an office.

Which Delaware cities do you serve?

We have dedicated pages for Wilmington, Dover, Newark, and we work with clients anywhere in Delaware.
