Business returns built from reconciled books, personal returns matched to every form you received, explained in plain English and e-filed by an IRS-authorized e-file provider.
Owners often call when an old return is still unfiled or the books stopped making sense. Tax preparation in Homestead, FL starts there: open years filed in order, then the current return on time.
With no Florida personal income tax, the federal return carries the weight: business returns start from reconciled books, and every return is checked against each W-2, 1099 and K-1. Our bookkeeping services and payroll services run in the same office.
Start with what's due, or what's overdue.
An S-Corporation's return sets what lands on every shareholder's personal return, so the K-1s have to be right before anything else moves. Our S-Corp tax preparation in Homestead, FL starts from reconciled books, compares the salary you took through payroll with the year's profit, and gets Form 1120-S filed by March 15 or on an extension chosen for a good reason.
A C-Corporation pays its own federal tax, and because Florida taxes corporate income, it also files a Florida corporate income tax return, Form F-1120. With C-Corp tax return preparation, both returns come from the same reconciled books, Form 1120 goes in by April 15 for a calendar-year company, and you get a plain walk-through of what the corporation owes and why.
Multi-member LLCs and partnerships file Form 1065 and hand every partner their own K-1. Profit and losses are split the way your operating agreement says, not the way someone guessed at in a hurry. Partnership tax returns for Homestead, FL businesses go out by March 15 for calendar-year partnerships, early enough that no partner's personal return sits waiting on the business return.
A barber renting a chair, a plumber with one truck, a contractor working under their own name: if you work for yourself, the business lives on Schedule C of your personal return. A self-employed tax preparer who sees the whole year makes sure every expense you're entitled to is claimed and your income matches the 1099s the IRS already has on file.
Form 1040 is where every other piece meets: W-2 wages, K-1s from a business, Schedule C profit and the credits and deductions that fit your household. Personal tax preparation in Homestead, FL covers employees, families and owners. Every form you received is accounted for, the return goes in by April 15, and you see the refund or balance due before it's filed.
The decisions that change a tax bill mostly happen before December 31: how you pay yourself, when the new equipment gets bought, whether your entity still fits and how much to set aside. Small business tax planning puts your real year-to-date numbers on the table while there's still time to act on them, so the next filing season brings no surprises.
When nobody withholds tax from your income, the IRS expects it four times a year: April 15, June 15, September 15 and January 15 of the next year. With quarterly estimated tax help, each Form 1040-ES amount is figured from your actual profit, sent ahead of the due date and adjusted when a slow season or a big job changes the year.
It's the most common reason owners call: the 2022 return that never got filed, then the year after it. With help for unfiled tax returns, income records get gathered, missing books get rebuilt and each year is prepared and filed in order. Filing late still beats not filing, because the failure-to-file penalty usually grows faster than the penalty for paying late.
A 1099 that showed up in March, a dependent nobody claimed, a deduction left off: a filed return can be corrected. Amended tax return preparation starts with a review of the original, then Form 1040-X or the matching amended business return is prepared with a note on what changed. A refund claim generally has to be filed within three years of the original return.
No. Many owners arrive with books that are behind, and that's expected. The missing months get caught up in the same office, then the return is prepared from reconciled numbers, with no files shuttled between a bookkeeper and a separate preparer.
With your last filed return, if you have one, and whatever records you can find. The IRS generally expects the last six years filed for an account to be in good standing, so that's usually the window. Each year is prepared in order.
For your personal return, no. Florida has no personal state income tax, so the federal return is the main event. The exception is a C-Corporation, which also files a Florida corporate income tax return, Form F-1120, alongside its federal Form 1120.
Bring your last filed return. You'll leave knowing which years are open and what gets filed first.
