What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Caring Transitions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee will incur a $250 late fee if the annual income statement, financial statement, or tax return is not received by Caring Transitions within five days of the due date.
Caring Transitions requires franchisees to submit signed copies of their federal income tax returns by April 30th of each year. If a franchisee has received an extension to file, they must submit a signed, file-stamped copy of IRS Form 4868 or 2688 by April 30th, and then the tax return within fifteen days after the final due date, but no later than October 30th.
It is important for prospective Caring Transitions franchisees to understand these deadlines and ensure timely submission of financial documents to avoid incurring late fees. Maintaining organized financial records and adhering to the franchisor's reporting requirements are crucial for compliance and avoiding penalties.
