Business Return FAQs

What do I need to provide for a business return?
At minimum: year-end Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet, prior year tax return, ownership information, and payroll/partner data (if applicable). See the checklist above for details by entity type.
Do you provide bookkeeping?
We don’t provide ongoing bookkeeping. If cleanup is needed (uncategorized or unreconciled transactions), we’ll quote that separately before filing.
How are additional K-1s or states billed?
Base pricing includes up to 2–3 K-1s and one state. Extra partners/shareholders or states are add-ons. We’ll give you a clear quote before filing.
Can you help with multi-state apportionment?
Yes, if your business operates in multiple states, we can prepare the necessary apportionment schedules. Complex apportionment is quoted as an add-on.
What is After-The-Fact Payroll (ATFP)?
ATFP is preparation & e-filing only for payroll forms—no live paycheck processing. We prepare and e-file quarterly 941, annual 940, year-end W-2/W-3, and 1099-NEC. The service is $60/mo. Clients remain responsible for making their own tax deposits and payments via EFTPS or state portals.
Do you assist with payroll or sales tax filings?
We don’t process payroll or make tax payments. However, with our ATFP ($60/mo) service we do handle the prep & e-file of Forms 941/940, W-2/W-3, and 1099-NEC using the year-end totals you provide. For sales tax, we don’t file returns but can incorporate your reported totals into the income tax return.
What e-file signature forms will I sign?
You’ll e-sign an authorization for each return type: 8879-PE (Partnership 1065), 8879-S (S-Corp 1120-S), and 8879-EMP (employment tax for ATFP).
What if I’m behind on multiple years?
We can prepare prior-year business returns. Each year is billed separately, and cleanup fees may apply if records aren’t ready. For payroll, we can also prepare prior-year ATFP filings based on your provided totals.
