Business Tax Preparation
Entity returns prepared by a CPA who understands your books, your industry, and where small businesses actually overpay.
Business returns are where a good CPA earns their fee. We prepare S-corporation, partnership, C-corporation and single-member LLC returns, reconciling to your books first, so the return reflects reality and stands up to scrutiny.
What this includes
S-corporation returns (1120-S)
Including reasonable compensation analysis, basis tracking and K-1 preparation for every shareholder.
Partnership & LLC returns (1065)
Capital account maintenance, special allocations and partner K-1s.
C-corporation returns (1120)
Federal and California filings, plus the franchise tax details owners often miss.
Schedule C & sole proprietors
For businesses that have not entitized yet, and advice on whether they should.
Entity selection & S-corp elections
Form 2553, late-election relief, and an honest look at whether an S-corp actually saves you money.
1099 & W-2 filings
Contractor and payroll information returns filed accurately and on time.
Common questions
Do you need my books cleaned up first?+
A reconciled set of books produces a better return and a smaller bill. If your books need work, our cleanup service handles it before filing season starts.
Should my LLC elect S-corp status?+
It depends on your net profit, your payroll costs and your state exposure. We model it both ways with your actual numbers before recommending anything.
When are business returns due?+
S-corps and partnerships are generally due March 15; C-corps and individuals April 15. We calendar every deadline for you and file extensions where they help.
