Small business tax returns details and preparation
What this service may cover
- Business return preparation depends on the entity and its tax classification. A sole proprietor’s filing needs can differ from those of a partnership or corporation; ask your preparer to confirm the forms for your business.
- The engagement may include reviewing the books, preparing returns and supplying owner tax information. Bookkeeping cleanup, payroll filings and ongoing planning may need separate quotes.
- Ask specifically about Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Philadelphia filings where relevant. A federal business return offer does not automatically include BIRT, NPT, sales tax or payroll reporting.
What to prepare
- Gather the prior business and owner returns, formation documents, tax elections, EIN and any notices about the business’s tax classification.
- Prepare the year-end profit and loss report, balance sheet and supporting bank reconciliations. Identify missing periods or transactions that still need review.
- List owners, ownership changes, payroll records, asset purchases, loans and distributions. Flag any business closure or change of entity.
- Tell the provider where you operate, sell or have employees, which returns were previously filed and who will approve the completed work.
Questions to ask a provider
- Which entity and owner returns does this engagement cover, and which are priced separately?
- Are the books ready for preparation, or will reconciliation and cleanup be a separate project?
- Who handles state and city filings, and when will owners receive the information they need for their own returns?
