IRS Form 966 – Fillable PDF for Corporate Dissolution & Liquidation

Form 966 is the official IRS document used by a corporation or a farmer’s cooperative to report a resolution or plan to dissolve, liquidate, or otherwise terminate its business. The form must be filed within 30 days of adopting the dissolution plan.

Form 966 collects basic corporate information, the type of liquidation (partial or complete), the adoption date of the resolution, and the IRS service center where the last tax return was filed. It is a single‑page form, making it straightforward to complete when you have the right data.

Who Must File Form 966?

• Any corporation (including S‑corporations) that adopts a plan to dissolve or liquidate its stock.
• Farmer’s cooperatives that are winding down operations.
• Entities that file a final tax return under IRC §6043(a).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Missing dates: Ensure the adoption date and final tax year dates match your corporate records.
• Incorrect EIN: Double‑check the Employer Identification Number; a typo can delay processing.
• Wrong liquidation type: Choose “partial” or “complete” accurately; the IRS uses this to determine tax treatment.
• Signature omission: An authorized officer must sign; electronic signatures are accepted if the PDF supports them.
