Business Tax Preparation FAQ

What types of business tax returns do you prepare?

We prepare all business entity tax returns including Form 1120 (C-Corp), Form 1120S (S-Corp), Form 1065 (Partnership), Schedule C (Sole Proprietor), and multi-member LLC returns. We also handle franchise tax reports, sales tax filings, and payroll tax returns for Texas businesses.

How much does business tax preparation cost?

Our business tax preparation starts at $750 for simple Schedule C filings and ranges up to $3,500+ for complex multi-state corporate returns. After our initial analysis, we provide a transparent estimate based on your specific entity type, number of transactions, and complexity. There are never hidden fees.

When are business tax returns due?

It depends on your entity type. Partnerships and S-Corps are due March 15th, while C-Corps and sole proprietors (Schedule C) are due April 15th. We can file extensions if needed, giving you until September 15th or October 15th respectively. Texas franchise tax reports are due May 15th annually.

Do you work with out-of-state businesses?

Yes, we work with businesses nationwide through our secure online portal. We're experts in multi-state tax compliance and can handle your filings regardless of where your business operates. We have specific expertise in Texas franchise tax and sales tax requirements.

Should my business be an LLC or S-Corp?

The right entity depends on your income level, business type, and growth plans. Generally, S-Corps can save on self-employment taxes once your net income exceeds $60,000, but LLCs offer more flexibility. We provide entity selection consulting to analyze your specific situation and can help you convert if beneficial. See this article for more details.

What's the difference between LLC and S-Corp tax filing?

Single-member LLCs typically file on Schedule C with your personal return, while multi-member LLCs file Form 1065 (partnership return). S-Corps file Form 1120S and issue K-1s to shareholders. S-Corps can save on self-employment taxes but require payroll processing for owner wages.

Can you help me convert from LLC to S-Corp?

Absolutely. We handle the entire conversion process including filing Form 2553 for S-Corp election, setting up payroll for reasonable compensation, and ensuring proper documentation. We'll also analyze if the conversion makes financial sense for your situation.

What is "reasonable compensation" for S-Corp owners?

S-Corp shareholders who work in the business must pay themselves a reasonable salary subject to payroll taxes. This is typically based on what you'd pay someone else to do your job. We help determine and document reasonable compensation to satisfy IRS requirements while maximizing tax savings.

What business expenses can I deduct?

Common deductions include office rent, equipment, supplies, professional services, insurance, travel, meals (50% deductible), home office expenses, vehicle costs, and employee wages. We review your expenses to ensure you're capturing all legitimate deductions while maintaining proper documentation.

How does Section 179 work for businesses?

Section 179 allows you to deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment and software purchased during the tax year, up to $1,250,000 in 2025. This includes computers, machinery, furniture, and certain vehicles. We help identify qualifying purchases and optimize the timing of these deductions.

What vehicle expenses can my business deduct?

You can deduct business mileage at the standard rate (70 cents per mile in 2025) or actual vehicle expenses including gas, insurance, and depreciation. For vehicles over 6,000 lbs GVW, special Section 179 rules may apply. We track and optimize your vehicle deductions.

How do you handle QuickBooks integration?

We're QuickBooks ProAdvisor certified and can directly import your QuickBooks data for tax preparation. We can also provide QuickBooks setup, training, and year-round bookkeeping support to keep your finances tax-ready throughout the year.

Do you provide year-round support or just at tax time?

We can provide comprehensive year-round support including quarterly tax planning sessions, estimated tax calculations, quick questions via email or phone, and proactive tax-saving recommendations. You work with the same team throughout the year, not just during tax season.

What documents do I need for business tax filing?

You'll need your profit & loss statement, balance sheet, bank statements, 1099s received and issued, payroll reports, equipment purchases, and prior year tax return. We provide a detailed checklist customized for your entity type and help you gather everything needed.

Can you help with sales tax filing?

Yes, we handle Texas sales tax permits, monthly/quarterly filing, and multi-state sales tax compliance. We can also help with sales tax audits and voluntary disclosure agreements if you have past non-compliance issues.

Do you handle multi-state tax filing?

Yes, we're experienced in multi-state tax compliance including income tax, franchise tax, and sales tax filing. We determine where you have nexus (tax obligation) and ensure compliance while minimizing your overall tax burden across all states.

What about Texas franchise tax?

We handle all Texas franchise tax filings including the annual report due May 15th. We help determine if you qualify for the no-tax-due threshold ($2.47M in 2025) and optimize your cost of goods sold or compensation deduction election.

Can you help with IRS payment plans for business taxes?

Yes, we help set up IRS installment agreements for business tax debt, negotiate penalty abatements, and can represent you in audits. We also help prevent tax issues through proper quarterly estimated tax payments and cash flow planning.

How do you keep up with tax law changes?

Our CPAs complete 40+ hours of continuing education annually, focusing on business tax updates. We monitor IRS announcements, tax court cases, and legislation to proactively identify opportunities and requirements affecting your business.

How do I get started with business tax services?

Click "Get Started" on our website or call (972) 296-0981. We can also schedule a brief consultation to understand your business, provide a transparent estimat, and set up your secure portal. Most businesses can be fully onboarded within 48 hours.

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes, we offer a complimentary 25-minute consultation to discuss your business tax needs, answer initial questions, and provide a service quote. This helps ensure we're a good fit before you commit to working with us. You can start the intake process here and we'll follow up to have a meeting.

Can you work with my existing bookkeeper or accountant?

Absolutely. We collaborate well with existing financial professionals on your team. We can handle just tax preparation and planning while they manage day-to-day bookkeeping, or we can provide comprehensive services – whatever works best for your business.

What makes SDO CPA different from other firms?

Our team brings Big 4 experience from EY and KPMG to small and mid-sized businesses at affordable rates. We provide year-round strategic guidance, not just compliance. You work with the same CPA team who learns your business, and we're genuinely invested in your success.
