S-Corps, LLCs & Partnerships
Separate entities often require separate tax returns, including Form 1120-S, Form 1065, and California entity filings. We prepare the business return, review owner information, and coordinate K-1s with the owner’s personal return.
New Businesses
Starting a new business creates tax questions right away. We help first-year business owners understand filing requirements, estimated taxes, payroll considerations, entity tax forms, and what records to keep.
Businesses Behind on Returns
If your business is behind on tax filings, do not ignore it. We help prepare prior-year business returns, resolve unfiled forms, review IRS or California FTB notices, and help you get current without judgment.
Business Returns We Prepare
We provide small business tax preparation for every common business structure, from simple Schedule C filings to entity returns with payroll, K-1s, balance sheets, and California reporting requirements.
S-Corporation (Form 1120-S)
S-Corp tax preparation requires careful reporting of business income, deductions, shareholder wages, distributions, and K-1s. We prepare Form 1120-S and coordinate the business return with each shareholder’s personal tax return when applicable.
Partnership & Multi-Member LLC (Form 1065)
Partnerships and multi-member LLCs usually file Form 1065 and issue K-1s to partners or members. We help report income, deductions, ownership allocations, guaranteed payments, and partner information accurately.
Sole Proprietor (Schedule C)
Sole proprietors report business income and expenses on Schedule C as part of their personal tax return. We help self-employed individuals, contractors, freelancers, and small business owners report income, deduct eligible expenses, and understand self-employment tax.
Payroll Tax Filings
Payroll tax responsibilities can create problems quickly if forms or deposits are missed. We help with payroll tax filings, including quarterly Form 941, annual Form 940, W-2 and W-3 preparation, and related payroll tax reporting.
State Business Returns
State business tax filings can add another layer of complexity. We prepare California business returns such as Form 100S, Form 100, Form 565, and Form 568 when applicable.
