Sole proprietors, partnerships, S corporations and C corporations all file differently. We work out which applies to you, then prepare it.
Business return · Illustrative example
A single-member LLC is often treated as a disregarded entity and reported on your personal return. Other LLCs are taxed as partnerships or corporations and file their own return. Same letters, different filing — and a different price.
Base pricing shown. Additional complexity may affect final pricing, and we confirm the full scope before work begins.
Schedule C · $750 base. Self-employed activity reported on your personal return, because the business is treated as a disregarded entity rather than a separate filer.
Form 1065 · $1,200 base. A separate business return for partnerships and LLCs taxed as partnerships, with a K-1 for each partner.
Form 1120-S · $1,200 base. A separate business return for S corporations and LLCs that elected S corporation treatment, with a K-1 for each shareholder.
Form 1120 · $1,200 base. A separate business return for C corporations and LLCs taxed as corporations. The company is taxed in its own right.
Most of it you will already have. We tell you what is missing rather than assuming.
Your profit and loss for the year, the detail behind the larger figures, and assets, liabilities and equity where the return requires it.
Equipment bought or disposed of and the existing depreciation schedule, plus ownership details for each partner or shareholder receiving a K-1.
Where the business has filing obligations in one or more states. If the books are behind, we scope the catch-up first so the return is built on accurate numbers.
This determines the return and the price, so we establish it before anything else.
You get a clear list. We confirm when everything has arrived.
Federal and state returns prepared with K-1s where they apply, then reviewed with you before filing.
Answer a few questions and we will tell you which return applies and what it costs.
