# Compliance calendar

> View all your compliance deadlines in one place.

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.

<Note>
  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

<Tip>
  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.
