Corporate tax services, and everything below them
A business return is only as good as the records behind it and the structure it is filed under. Two businesses with identical revenue can owe very different amounts depending on how they are organized, which expenses were captured during the year, and whether anyone was paying attention to estimated payments along the way.
Corporate tax services are the core of this practice. For C-corporations that means the corporate return, corporate estimated payments, and the compliance calendar that comes with the structure. Along with the question that decides much of the bill, which is how earnings leave the company as salary rather than distributions. For S-corporations it means the corporate filing, shareholder K-1s, basis tracking, and reasonable-compensation analysis, an area that draws IRS attention when owners take too little salary against too much distribution.
We prepare returns across the rest of the spectrum too: single-member and multi-member LLCs, partnerships, and sole proprietors filing on Schedule C. That work starts before the forms: reviewing your books for gaps, confirming owner compensation and distributions were handled consistently, checking whether your entity election still fits the business you have now, and identifying deductions that were available but never recorded.
If you are behind on corporate filings, that is fixable and we would rather hear about it early, since corporate penalties accrue per return and per shareholder. If you are current and simply want it handled properly, we will do that and tell you where next year could go better.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we hear often about business & corporate tax services. If yours is not here, ask us directly, the consultation is free.
It depends on your entity type and fiscal year. Partnerships and S-corporations generally face an earlier deadline than C-corporations and individual filers, and extensions shift the filing date without shifting when payment is due. Corporate penalties can accrue per return and per shareholder, so a missed S-corp deadline gets expensive faster than people expect. Tell us your structure and we will confirm the dates that apply to you.
For a C-corporation: the corporate return, corporate estimated payments, and the compliance calendar the structure carries. For an S-corporation: the corporate filing, shareholder K-1s, basis tracking, and reasonable-compensation analysis. In both cases we also look at how money leaves the company, because the split between salary and distributions drives much of what you end up owing.
The standard is reasonable compensation for the work you actually perform. There is no fixed percentage, despite the rules of thumb circulating online. Paying yourself too little salary against large distributions is one of the more reliable ways to draw IRS attention. We look at your role, your industry, and your numbers, and document the reasoning behind the figure we land on.
We support payroll tax filings and reconcile them against your books and your return so the numbers agree. If you run payroll through a provider, we work from their reports; if you have been handling it yourself, we review it for accuracy before it flows into your filing.
Yes. We determine which years and which filings are actually outstanding, prepare them in the correct order, and address any penalties or notices that have accumulated. Getting current is almost always better than waiting, and it is the first step toward resolving anything owed.
Yes, and you would not be the first. We can work from bank and credit card statements to rebuild what is missing. It takes more time than filing from clean books, which is why many clients move to monthly bookkeeping afterward, but a messy year is not a reason to delay filing.
Sometimes it helps and sometimes it costs more than it saves. The answer turns on your profit level, how much you pay yourself, and the added payroll and filing obligations that come with the election. We look at your actual numbers and walk you through the trade-off rather than applying a rule of thumb.
Yes. If your business has employees, property, or sufficient sales activity in another state, a filing obligation may follow. We review where your activity creates that obligation and prepare the required state returns alongside your federal filing.
