The due date to file Form 8038-CP varies depending on the bond rates:

• Fixed Rate Bonds: No later than 45 days before the relevant interest payment date (or) earlier than 90 days before the relevant interest payment date.
• Variable rate bonds: when the issuer knows the interest payment amount 45 days prior to the interest payment date, 8038-CP Form may be filed within the same timelines as fixed rate bonds (45 days before the relevant interest payment date but no earlier than 90 days before the relevant interest payment date). However, a separate Form 8038-CP should still be filed for the variable rate bonds.
