Business Tax Returns

LLC, S-corporation, partnership and sole proprietor returns — prepared by the people who already understand where your numbers come from.

Entities we file for

• LLCs — single-member and multi-member, filed according to how the entity is treated for tax purposes.
• S-corporations — including the owner compensation questions that come with them.
• Partnerships — with the partner schedules that follow.
• Sole proprietors — filed on the owner’s personal return.

We do not prepare C-corporation, trust or estate returns. If that is what you need, tell us and we will point you elsewhere rather than take the work.

Texas has two more filings people forget

A federal return is not the whole obligation for a Texas entity. Most also owe an annual franchise tax report, and businesses that sell taxable goods or services file sales tax on their own schedule. We handle all three together so nothing sits unfiled.

Why it helps that we also keep the books

When the same firm maintains your records and prepares your return, there is no gap between what your financial statements say and what gets filed, and no March reconstruction of a year you have already lived through. If we are doing your bookkeeping, most of the return is assembled before the season starts.

If you are behind

Prior-year business returns are ordinary work for us. Where the underlying records are incomplete, we start with cleanup and catch-up — usually about three days per year of backlog, depending on transaction volume — and file from books that hold up.

Planning through the year

Entity choice, owner compensation, and the timing of large purchases all change what you owe, and all of them have to be decided before year end to matter. For tax clients we work through these during the year rather than reporting on them afterwards.
