My client closed up their business on 12/15/2023 - calendar year taxpayer.

Do I file on 2022 tax form or 2023 ?

For tax returns, the form year is the one for the first day of the year, not the last. Therefore, a June 30, 2023 return is filed on a 2022 form.

Calendar years begin on Jan 1, 2023, it goes on 2023 form.

Yours is a short-year 2023.

With the possible exception of a NJ corp, the answer is the same.

A Schedule C filer has to do a short-year return?  The guy's not dead, he just closed the business.
