Frequently asked questions
Tax preparation completes and files a return for a past year.
Tax planning looks at decisions you can still make before the end of the year, such as timing purchases, adjusting estimated payments, or changing how you pay yourself.
What is the difference between tax preparation and tax planning?
When should I start tax planning?
The best time is before year-end, while decisions can still change the result. Most planning opportunities are gone by the time you file.
Can you prepare my return if my books are behind?
Yes. We can look at your records, then quote any cleanup or catch-up work before preparing the return.
Do you prepare individual tax returns?
We prepare personal returns for owners of the businesses we work with. We do not currently take individual-only returns.
Should my LLC be taxed as an S corporation?
It depends. An S corporation election can reduce self-employment tax on profit above a reasonable salary, but it adds payroll and a separate tax return. We compare the savings against the added cost using your numbers.
