Who it’s for

For owners whose business and personal taxes are one picture.

For consulting practices, agencies, online businesses and other small companies, the business return and the owner’s personal return are closely linked. We prepare them with that connection in mind.

Typical situations

  • Sole proprietors and single-member LLCs filing Schedule C
  • S corporations and their shareholders
  • Multi-member LLCs and partnerships
  • Owners considering a new entity or a change in tax classification

What’s included

  • S corporation (Form 1120-S) and partnership (Form 1065) returns
  • Schedule C for sole proprietors and single-member LLCs
  • Owner K-1s coordinated with the owners’ personal returns
  • A review of your books before filing
  • Questions about your return answered during preparation

Recommended for one-owner S-Corps

S-Corp + Owner 1040 Package

From$1,400Starting fee

The business return and the owner’s personal return, prepared together.

  • Form 1120-S and shareholder K-1
  • Owner Form 1040
  • One state return each for the business and the owner
  • Prepared together so wages, K-1 and 1040 agree

If either return is more involved, we send a written scope change with the added fee, and do no extra work until you sign it. Return preparation doesn’t include an election analysis or year-round planning; those are separate services.

Partnership (Form 1065) returns are quoted after an Intro Call.

Clean books first

An accurate return starts with reconciled books.

We work from clean, reconciled books. If yours need attention before a return can be filed, we can clean them up as a separately scoped engagement, or keep them current with monthly bookkeeping.

FAQ

Business returns, explained.

Do you prepare partnership returns?

Yes. Partnership (Form 1065) returns are quoted after an Intro Call based on the number of partners, states and the condition of the books.

Do my books need to be clean first?

The standard business return scope assumes clean, reconciled books. If yours need attention, we can clean them up as a separately scoped engagement, or keep them current with monthly bookkeeping.

Will an S-Corp save me money?

It depends on your profit, your state and how you operate. An election can reduce self-employment tax for a profitable business, but it adds payroll, a separate business return and ongoing compliance costs.

The S-Corp Election Analysis ($500) puts both sides in writing. If the numbers don’t support an election yet, we’ll say so, and tell you what would need to change.

What happens on an Intro Call?

The Intro Call is a free conversation to understand your situation and recommend the right service and fee. It isn’t tax advice or a tax consultation, and no client relationship begins until you sign an engagement letter. If you’d like professional advice right away, a Tax Strategy Session ($300) is the place for it.
