Business Tax Preparation, Planning & Advisory
Flow-Through Entities
Many small businesses are flow-through / pass-through entities such as S-Corporations, single member LLCs, and sole proprietors. We work closely with businesses structured as flow-through entities and generally prepare the owner's personal tax return as well. For sole proprietors and disregarded LLCs, business income is actually reported on Schedule C of the owner's personal return.
S-Corp Elections
Are you considering an S-Corp election for your LLC? While converting to an S-Corp can provide significant savings on self-employment taxes, it’s not the right choice for every LLC. Making an S-Corp election requires careful consideration of multiple factors. For some businesses, the increased cost to maintain compliance could exceed any tax savings. We can help you determine if an S-Corp election is right for your business.
Solopreneurs
Your business is never too small for professional tax preparation and planning. We support a wide range of small businesses including solopreneurs, independent professionals, freelancers, tradesmen, and other self employed individuals.
