Frequently Asked Questions
Which business returns do you prepare? +
C-corporation (1120), S-corporation (1120-S), partnership and multi-member LLC (1065), and single-member LLC filings, plus all supporting schedules and K-1s.
Should my LLC elect S-corp status? +
It depends on your profit and how much you pay yourself. We model the self-employment tax savings against the added payroll and filing cost before you decide.
What is reasonable compensation for an S-corp owner? +
The IRS expects an S-corp owner-employee to take a salary comparable to market pay for the work performed. We help you set and document a defensible figure.
Do you handle multi-state business filings? +
Yes. We file in every state where you have nexus and correctly apportion income, so you are compliant without over-paying any single state.
How do quarterly estimated payments work? +
We project your annual liability and schedule four estimates so you avoid underpayment penalties and are not hit with a large balance in April.
When should I start tax planning? +
Well before year-end. Most meaningful moves, entity elections, equipment purchases, retirement contributions, must happen before December 31 to count.
What deductions do businesses commonly miss? +
Home office, vehicle use, retirement plan contributions, the QBI deduction, and startup costs are frequently overlooked. We review your books for all of them.
Can you file an extension for me? +
Yes, and an extension to file is not an extension to pay. We estimate what is owed and arrange payment so the extension does not create penalties.
What if I have unfiled prior-year returns? +
We prepare delinquent returns and, where appropriate, request penalty abatement with a reasonable-cause statement to reduce what you owe.
How do you coordinate with my personal return? +
We align your business return and K-1 with your 1040 so pass-through income, owner comp, and estimates all tie out, ideally handled by one team.
What does business tax preparation cost? +
It depends on entity type, number of states, and complexity. We give a flat quote up front after reviewing your prior return and current books.
