Tax Preparation for LLCs
Single-member LLC
Reported on your personal return via Schedule C. We track deductions, self-employment tax, and quarterly estimates so nothing is missed.
Multi-member LLC
Partnership return (Form 1065) plus K-1s for each member. We prepare both the entity return and the personal returns that follow from it.
LLC taxed as S-corp
Form 1120-S, payroll reconciliation, and owner W-2. We coordinate the business and personal returns so the numbers connect.
What to bring
- Your LLC formation documents (articles of organization)
- Income records: 1099-NEC, 1099-K, invoices, or bank statements
- Business expense records (receipts, mileage log, home-office measurements if applicable)
- Prior-year business return if this is not your first year
- Payroll records if you pay yourself or employees

Common questions
Do LLCs pay a different tax rate?
LLCs are pass-through entities by default. You pay income tax on the net profit at your individual rate, plus self-employment tax if you are a single-member LLC or active partner. An S-corp election can reduce self-employment tax in some situations. We can walk through the math before any election is made.
Can you prepare both the LLC return and my personal return?
Yes. We coordinate both returns so the numbers carry through correctly. That coordination is part of what you get when the same office handles both sides.
What if my LLC had no activity this year?
A zero-activity LLC may still have a filing requirement depending on the state and entity type. Our office confirms what is needed before you decide to skip a filing.
Is the price different for an LLC return?
Complexity drives price. A simple single-member LLC on Schedule C starts the same as any self-employed return. Multi-member and S-corp returns are quoted after a document review. You get one written quote before any work begins.
