Catering to Your Entity Type
Over the years, our firm has had the privilege of adapting our tax preparation services to meet the needs of various entity types. As such, we know that each entity type has unique tax requirements that require in-depth knowledge during filing. Some of the business entities we work with include:
Limited Liability Companies: Limited liability companies are one of the most adaptable entity types that help protect business owners from personal liability. Not only that, but you can choose if you're taxed as an S corporation or a C corporation. Depending on how you're taxed, there are different forms you're required to file which we'll ensure are filed correctly and on time.
Partnerships: As a partnership, the IRS requires each partner to report profits and losses on their personal income tax returns. Partnerships have considerable flexibility as they can split ownership and determine income rights. Our team will handle Form 1065 and any necessary schedules.
S Corporations: : An S corporation has the benefit of being a pass-through entity. All liability passes through to its shareholders. Although S corporations are taxed personally, there are numerous advantages to shareholders reporting income on their income returns.
