Tax Filing & Returns in United States

Federal returns, prepared and filed. A C-corporation files Form 1120, due the 15th day of the 4th month after year-end — 15 April for a calendar year — with a timely Form 7004 extending the FILING, not the payment, to 15 October; the federal corporate rate is a flat 21% (IRC s.11(b), as amended in 2017, applied on Schedule J). Estimated tax is paid in four instalments (15 April, 15 June, 15 September, 15 December) via EFTPS where the corporation expects to owe $500 or more. An LLC under the default classification files Form 1065 as a partnership with Schedule K-1s to members, or is disregarded and reported on the owner's return — and a FOREIGN-owned single-member LLC still has a federal obligation: Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120. Where you have US employees, Forms 941 (quarterly, withheld income tax plus Social Security and Medicare) and 940 (annual, FUTA) join the cycle. State income and franchise returns are separate and per-state.

What we will need from you

Upload these once. They are stored encrypted and reused across every service you buy from us.

  • Year-end trial balance and financial statements

  • Bank and card statements for the tax year

  • Prior year return

    Only if this is not your first filing.

  • Schedule of related-party transactions

    Drives Form 5472 for a foreign-owned entity. Our research flags a reported $25,000 penalty for failure to file, and expressly lists the Form 5472 and pro-forma 1120 mechanics and that penalty as items to confirm on irs.gov — we do so before filing rather than asserting them.

  • Payroll records

    Where you have US employees, for Forms 941 and 940.

Cost breakdown

Our fee and the government’s are always separate lines. Government fees are passed through at exactly what the authority charges — we add nothing to them.
