Question 1

What types of business entities do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We work with all major US entity types — LLCs (single-member and multi-member), S Corporations, C Corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships. This includes businesses owned by NRIs, foreign nationals, and US residents across all industries.

Question 2

Which tax form does my business need to file?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your entity type: S Corporations file Form 1120-S, C Corporations file Form 1120, partnerships file Form 1065, and single-member LLCs report on Schedule C of your personal return (unless they've elected corporate treatment). We determine the correct filing based on your structure and elections.

Question 3

How do you handle multi-state tax filings?

Accepted Answer

If your business operates in or has nexus in multiple states, we prepare separate state returns for each jurisdiction. We handle proper income apportionment, sales tax obligations, and ensure compliance with each state's specific requirements — including franchise taxes where applicable.

Question 4

What documents do I need to provide?

Accepted Answer

Typically we need your Profit & Loss statement, Balance Sheet, bank and credit card statements, payroll records, 1099s issued and received, prior year returns, and loan/interest documentation. We provide a detailed checklist tailored to your entity type after our initial review.

Question 5

Do I need to make quarterly estimated tax payments?

Accepted Answer

Most businesses and their owners are required to make quarterly estimated tax payments (using Form 1040-ES or 1120-W) to avoid underpayment penalties. We calculate your quarterly obligations and send reminders before each deadline — April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15.

Question 6

What is a K-1, and will my partners or shareholders receive one?

Accepted Answer

A Schedule K-1 reports each partner's or shareholder's share of the business income, deductions, and credits. If your business is an S Corp or partnership, we prepare K-1s for all owners as part of the return. Each owner then reports their K-1 on their personal tax return.

Question 7

Can you help me choose the right tax classification for my LLC?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LLCs have flexibility in how they're taxed — as a sole proprietorship, partnership, S Corporation, or C Corporation. We evaluate your revenue, owner compensation, and growth plans to recommend the structure that minimizes your overall tax burden. If a change is beneficial, we file the necessary election (Form 2553 or 8832).

Question 8

How long does business tax preparation take?

Accepted Answer

Business returns are typically completed within 10-15 business days after we receive all documents. Simpler returns (single-member LLCs, straightforward S Corps) may be ready sooner. Complex returns with multi-state filings, international components, or extensive payroll take longer.

Question 9

Do you handle payroll tax filings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We prepare and file Forms 941 (quarterly federal payroll tax), Form 940 (annual federal unemployment tax), and applicable state withholding and unemployment returns. We also handle year-end W-2 and 1099 preparation for your employees and contractors.

Question 10

What if my business has foreign owners or international operations?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in this. For businesses with foreign owners, we handle Forms 5472 (foreign-owned US LLC reporting), withholding requirements, and treaty-based positions. For international operations, we assist with Form 5471, transfer pricing documentation, and foreign tax credit calculations.
