Your 226-J deadline, calculated.
Enter the date printed on your Letter 226-J. The calculator adds the 90-day response window required by the Employer Reporting Improvement Act and shows where you stand.
Find it near the top of the letter, next to the letter number. Format: YYYY-MM-DD.
Basis: P.L. 118-168 (Employer Reporting Improvement Act, signed 12/23/2024) requires the IRS to give ALEs at least 90 days to respond to Letter 226-J (congress.gov). Note: IRS.gov's ESRP Q&A still carries older "generally 30 days" language — the date printed on your letter controls.
