The Compliance calendar gives you a unified view of every filing obligation across all your entities and jurisdictions.

Accessing the calendar

Click Compliance Calendar in the sidebar to open it.

What you’ll see

The calendar pulls obligations from two sources into a single view:
  • Compliance items — annual reports, income tax filings, franchise tax filings, and any custom obligations attached to your entities.
  • Sales tax filings — indirect tax returns generated by Commenda’s sales-tax engine.
Each event is keyed off its due date, so a single date can include filings from multiple sources. For each event, you can see:
  • Title — the filing name (for example, “Form 1120” or a state sales-tax return)
  • Entity — which corporation the obligation belongs to
  • Category — the obligation category (direct tax, indirect tax, annual report, custom, and so on)
  • Jurisdiction — the state or sub-jurisdiction where the filing is due
  • Frequency — how often the obligation recurs (monthly, quarterly, annual)
  • Due date — when the filing must be submitted
  • Status — current progress (upcoming, not filed, filed, overdue, and so on)
  • Assignee — the team member or partner firm responsible for the filing. Sales-tax filings handled by Commenda show “Commenda” as the assignee.
If you’ve just created a company and haven’t generated any compliance items or sales-tax filings yet, the calendar shows an empty state prompting you to set up your obligations.

Filtering the calendar

You can narrow the calendar to focus on what’s relevant. Filters combine, so you can stack them to drill down quickly:
  • Date range — pick the window you want to see. The calendar supports ranges of up to 92 days at a time, so a typical month or quarter view loads in a single request.
  • Entity — restrict the calendar to one or more corporations under the company.
  • Category — show only specific obligation categories (for example, only Indirect Tax to focus on sales-tax filings, or only Direct Tax for income-tax obligations).
When you change a filter, the calendar updates both the per-day counts and the event details below.

Calendar views

Two views power the calendar UI:
  • Summary view — shows the count of events on each day in your selected range. This is what drives the heat-map style markers you see on the calendar grid, so the page loads fast even when a large window is selected.
  • Day detail view — when you click into a specific day (or load a narrow range), the full list of events on each date is returned, grouped by due date.
Both views respect the same date range, entity, and category filters.

Taking action

From the compliance calendar, you can:
  • Update status — mark a filing as under filing, filed, or completed
  • Create a service request — get professional help with a filing by creating a service request
  • View details — click any item to see its full details, history, and attached documents
  • Request an extension — if available, file for an extension on the deadline
Check your compliance calendar weekly to stay ahead of upcoming deadlines. Items approaching their due date will be highlighted, and the per-day counts make it easy to spot heavy filing weeks at a glance.
