Questions
Common questions
When are business returns due?
S corporation and partnership returns are generally due March 15, with an extension to September 15. C corporation returns are generally due April 15, with an extension to October 15. Missing a partnership or S corporation deadline carries a penalty per owner per month, so these dates matter.
Do you work from my bookkeeping or do you redo it?
We work from your books. If they are not in a state we can file from, we will tell you what the cleanup costs before starting, rather than discovering it halfway through.
My K-1 is always late and it holds up my personal return.
That is usually a scheduling problem rather than a complexity one. We work the entity return to the March deadline so owners have K-1s in hand well before their own filing date.
Can you handle the first return after incorporating?
Yes, and the first one matters most. Elections made on an initial return, including the S corporation election timing, shape how the business is taxed for years afterwards.
