Tax Preparation Services

Business tax returns prepared and filed correctly. You don't spend weekends on tax software wondering if you got it right.

What This Is

Tax preparation means filing your business return correctly. Capturing every deduction you’re entitled to. Making sure the numbers match your books. Getting everything submitted on time so you avoid penalties and interest.

Most business owners dread tax season because it means digging through records, trying to remember what counts as deductible, and hoping you didn’t miss anything important. This service takes that work off your plate.

What Gets Filed

Business return based on your entity type. Schedule C for sole proprietors, 1120-S for S-corps, 1065 for partnerships. All supporting schedules, deductions, and documentation needed for a complete filing.

The Process

Review your books and financial statements. Identify applicable deductions and credits. Prepare the return. Review it with you before filing. Submit electronically and provide copies for your records.

Why This Matters

Tax software asks you questions, but it doesn’t know if your answers make sense. It doesn’t flag when you’ve categorized something wrong or missed a deduction you qualify for. It just processes whatever you enter and generates a return. If that return is wrong, you’re the one who pays for it later.

Business tax returns aren’t complicated because the forms are hard to fill out. They’re complicated because knowing what to put in those forms requires understanding depreciation rules, basis calculations, entity-specific requirements, and which expenses actually qualify as deductions. Get any of that wrong and you either overpay or set yourself up for an IRS notice.

Missed Deductions

Vehicle expenses, equipment depreciation, home office costs, business meals, professional fees. Easy to miss these or calculate them incorrectly when you’re not sure what qualifies or how to document it properly.

Entity Complexity

S-corps need shareholder basis tracking. Partnerships need capital account reconciliation. Multi-member LLCs have different rules than single-member. The more complex your structure, the easier it is to file incorrectly.

What Changes

Your return gets filed correctly and on time. Every legitimate deduction captured. Every number backed by your books and proper documentation. No wondering if you did it right or worrying about a notice showing up months later.

You also get guidance on quarterly estimates for the following year so you know what to set aside. No April surprise when you realize you owe $18,000 and haven’t saved anything for it.

Lower Tax Bills

Proper tax preparation finds deductions you didn’t know existed or weren’t sure how to claim. Most clients reduce their tax liability enough in the first year to cover a significant portion of the preparation fee.

IRS Protection

Returns prepared by an Enrolled Agent who can represent you if questions arise. You’re not filing and hoping. You’re filing with someone who has the authority and knowledge to handle IRS correspondence if it comes.
