Corporate Tax Preparation
Serving all Corporations and S Corporations
It is widely agreed that corporate tax preparation is exhausting and time consuming. Business owners must file a corporate tax return if they are a corporation or a Limited Liability Company (LLC) electing to be taxed as a Corporation or S Corporation. The US government requires that each Corporation file its corporate tax return (1120 or 1120S) and failure to do so will result in late filing penalties and possible legal repercussions. Our firm will help the business owner understand their rights and protection inside each entity and help you decide if you are in the right Corporation for the future.
The corporate tax preparation process involves annual preparation of corporate books and records from the clients. Annual books will help assure the business owner that all business deductions are recorded, monthly and quarterly tax liabilities are paid, and most importantly, provides them with insight for budgeting in the future. Understanding your responsibility to report all Sales and expenses, including employee wages, employer taxes, and independent contractor payments can be overwhelming. A tax professional who is well-versed in corporations can help your business save time and money so you can concentrate on what’s important.
