Business Tax Preparation

Business tax preparation with accuracy, clarity and a year-round perspective.

Your business return reflects your revenue, expenses, payroll, assets and the decisions made all year. We prepare it — and help you understand how it connects to your books, compliance and personal taxes.

Built Around Your Entity

Different structures have different filing responsibilities.

The return your business must file depends on how it's formed and classified for federal tax purposes. An LLC doesn't automatically determine this — it may be taxed as a disregarded entity, partnership, S-Corp, or corporation. We review your entity and prior filings first.

Business Returns We Prepare

Prepared around your entity's specific requirements.

Sole Proprietorship & Single-Member LLC

Reported with the owner's personal return.

Generally reports on Schedule C. Requires complete income records, supportable expenses and organized bookkeeping.

Explore Self-Employed Tax Prep →

Partnership Tax Returns

Form 1065 for partnerships & multi-member LLCs.

Each partner gets a Schedule K-1. We review ownership %, contributions, distributions, guaranteed payments and basis.

S Corporation Returns

Form 1120-S for elected S corporations.

Officer compensation, distributions, shareholder health insurance and payroll compliance all get reviewed.

C Corporation Returns

Form 1120 for corporations taxed separately.

Corporate income, officer compensation, dividends, shareholder loans, retained earnings and fixed assets.

Final & Inactive Business Returns

Closing doesn't end your filing duty.

Stopped operating? A final federal or state return may still be required, even after closing with the state.

More Than Completing a Form

A return is only as reliable as the records behind it.

A return prepared from incomplete or inaccurate books can create real problems:

Incorrect income reporting
Missed deductions, unsupported expenses
Balance-sheet inconsistencies
Incorrect owner distributions, basis issues
Payroll vs. tax filing mismatches
Delays, and increased notice risk

Business Taxes & Bookkeeping

The quality of the return depends on the quality of the books — a P&L alone often isn't enough for a partnership, S-Corp or C-Corp.

Explore Monthly Bookkeeping →

Business Taxes & Payroll

Payroll reporting must agree with the tax return. S-Corp shareholders performing services may have payroll responsibilities.

Explore Payroll Services →

Business & Personal Coordination

Schedule K-1s can affect your taxable income, estimated payments, and basis. The business return usually finishes first.

Explore Personal Tax Preparation →

Preparation vs. Planning

Filing reports the past. Planning reviews the current year before it ends — compensation, distributions, timing, and more.

Explore Tax Planning →

Prior-Year & Amended Returns

Behind on filing, or need to correct one? Unfiled returns, amendments, and late S-Corp elections may all be possible.

IRS & State Business Notices

Late filings, payroll discrepancies, franchise tax, entity classification — we'll explain the issue and the next step.

Our accounting background helps us catch inconsistencies between reports, payroll and filings.

We Review Owner Activity Carefully

Contributions, draws, distributions, loans and reimbursements, classified and documented correctly.

We Explain the Tax Result

You'll understand how the return affects the company and its owners — not just get a filed form.

We Coordinate Both Filings

When engaged for both, we manage the relationship between the business and personal return.

Bilingual Support

Services and client communication are available in English and Spanish.

We Look Past the Deadline

We flag bookkeeping, payroll, compliance or planning matters that need attention during the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you get started.

When is my business tax return due?

It depends on the entity and tax year. Calendar-year partnerships and S corporations generally have an earlier deadline than individual and C corporation returns. We'll confirm your specific deadline.

Can you prepare my return if my books are not complete?

Not reliably from materially incomplete records. Catch-up, cleanup, or year-end bookkeeping may be needed first.

Do you need a balance sheet?

Partnership, S-Corp and C-Corp returns often require accurate balance-sheet information — the exact requirement depends on your return and entity size.

Can you prepare my business and personal returns?

Yes. We coordinate both when the business activity flows into your personal return.

Can you guarantee that I will not owe taxes?

No. The result depends on profit, owner activity, prior payments, payroll, entity type and applicable rules.

Do you prepare returns for businesses outside Texas?

Yes — remote tax preparation for businesses in multiple states, depending on the states and activity involved.

Can you file an extension?

Yes, if requested before the deadline with the information needed to prepare it. An extension gives more time to file, not more time to pay.

Does an extension increase audit risk?

No, filing a valid extension does not automatically increase audit risk. The return still needs to be accurate and filed by the extended deadline.

What happens if the business owes taxes?

We'll explain the reported balance and payment options. Payment-plan assistance or resolution may need a separate engagement.

Is tax planning included?

No. Tax planning is a separate service performed before year-end using current financial data and projections.

Pricing

Fees are based on scope and complexity.

Entity type, number of owners and states, condition of the bookkeeping, balance-sheet complexity, payroll issues, and ownership changes all factor in. A partnership, S-Corp or corporation return requires more review than a basic Schedule C. After reviewing your business, we'll communicate the scope and fee.

Bookkeeping cleanup, payroll corrections, amended returns, tax planning and notice assistance are priced separately.

Accurate preparation requires complete, timely information.
