Tax compliance services
Business tax preparation.
Entity returns prepared to reflect the structure that actually exists, with the elections, basis tracking and compensation analysis the return depends on.
Entity returns
The return has to match the structure.
A business return is only as good as the books behind it and the structure it reports. We reconcile the two before we file, rather than discovering the gap in an examination.
- Form 1065. U.S. Return of Partnership Income, with Schedules K-1
- Form 1120. U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return for C corporations
- Form 1120-S. U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation
- Partner and shareholder basis tracking, carried year over year
- Reasonable compensation analysis for S corporation owners
- Depreciation schedules, fixed asset rollforwards and disposals
- State registrations, annual reports and entity level filings
- Multi entity groups with intercompany activity
- Elections filed on the correct form by the statutory deadline

Why clients choose us
Four things you get.
Expert accuracy
Precise preparation, compliant with current law, by credentialed professionals rather than seasonal staff.
Nothing left on the table
Every deduction and credit you are entitled to, identified and substantiated.
Time back
You hand it over once and stop thinking about it. That is the deliverable.
Defensible positions
Led by an Enrolled Agent who represents taxpayers before the IRS. Positions are taken knowing how they hold up.
Reasonable compensation
The S corporation question the IRS actually asks.
S corporation owners must pay themselves reasonable compensation for services rendered before taking distributions. Understate it and the exposure is payroll tax, penalties and interest across every open year.
We document the basis for the figure at the time the return is filed, rather than reconstructing a justification after a notice arrives. That documentation is the difference between a position you can defend and one you cannot.
