4. Complete the applicable tax forms: Use the appropriate tax forms, such as Form 1128 (Application to Adopt, Change, or Retain a Tax Year), to request permission for a short taxable year. Provide all the required information, including the reason for the change and the beginning and ending dates of the short taxable year.
