I apologize for not being able to let this go but I'm a nut-job with stuff like this! I certainly am not an expert and don't mean to come across as being rude or disrespectful, I'm just having fun. Look how insane this topic gets:
From the posts I've seen, people are saying "February 4", not 2/4. February 4 would be the 35th day after December 31. That would be sooner than a quarterly is due and less than HALF the number of days (75) to file a year-end report. I am comfortable in saying it is extremely unlikely the report will come on February 4.
I get the Europe date thing, but that makes no sense either. March 29, 2016 is a Tuesday in the US, pretty sure it is in Europe too. I am sticking with the "due date" is March 15 since that is the 75th day. Even with an extension April 2 would be LATE. If somehow they managed to exit accelerated status which I doubt, then the 90th day (due date) would be Wednesday March 30. Does it make any sense at all that a few days into the year (when this debate started) that a company would say, "hey everyone, we're gonna report LATE so it will be on April 2nd"? Does a company or brokerage or whatever project a late filing date nearly 3 months in advance?
Have a good Sunday and GLTU as well.
