Business Tax Preparation
Accurate Business Tax Returns Start With Reliable Records
Preparing a business tax return involves more than entering income and expenses into tax software.
Business tax preparation requires complete financial records, careful review, and a structured process designed to help ensure the return is accurate, complete, and consistent with the information provided.
Allison Accounting prepares business tax returns for S corporations, partnerships, C corporations, and LLCs taxed as business entities through a secure, organized CPA firm process.
Who This Service Is For
Business Tax Preparation may be the right fit if you:
Need an S corporation, partnership, C corporation,
or business entity tax return prepared
Have questions about whether your bookkeeping
or payroll records are ready for tax preparation
Want a professional review process before filing
Need help with prior-year business tax returns
Want your return prepared through a
structured CPA firm process
Want confidence that your return is being
prepared from reliable financial records
If your books are not ready for tax preparation, we will help determine whether bookkeeping cleanup, catch-up work, or accounting review should come first.
What Business Tax Preparation Includes
Business Tax Preparation is a professional preparation and review process designed to prepare your return using financial information that can reasonably be relied upon.
Business Tax Preparation may include:
Review of the financial information needed to prepare your return
Preparation of your business tax return
Preparation-related follow-up questions, when needed
Internal quality review before release
Secure delivery through the client portal
Electronic signature instructions
E-filing after payment, client review, and signed authorization
Business Tax Preparation does not automatically include bookkeeping cleanup, catch-up work, full tax planning, payroll correction work, or unlimited advisory support unless those services are separately included in your engagement.
Reliable Records Matter
Strong financial records are the foundation of an accurate business tax return.
If your books are incomplete, behind, or inconsistent, additional work may be needed before preparation can begin. This may include bookkeeping cleanup, catch-up work, or accounting review.
Cleanup or accounting review may be recommended when:
Bank or credit card accounts have not been reconciled
Transactions are missing or improperly categorized
Payroll does not match the accounting records
Prior-year balances need correction
Loan or balance sheet accounts do not reconcile
Personal and business transactions have been mixed together
Financial statements are not reliable enough to support tax preparation
Cleanup addresses the records needed to prepare the return.
Business Tax Preparation uses those records to prepare and file the return correctly.
After the return is prepared, some business owners may also benefit from Monthly CPA Support to help keep the business organized going forward.
Investment
Business tax returns generally start at $750.
Your final investment depends on the complexity of your return and the condition of your financial records.
Factors that may affect pricing include:
Entity type
Number of owners or partners
Balance sheet complexity
Payroll activity
Bookkeeping quality
Prior-year issues
Multiple-state filing requirements
Cleanup or catch-up work
Owner basis, equity, or distribution activity

Additional review or advisory needs outside standard preparation
The starting price is not a quote.
Business tax preparation clients are generally required to pay a deposit before preparation begins. The standard business tax return deposit is generally $500, unless different payment terms apply under a monthly service plan or other engagement arrangement.
After learning more about your business and records, we will provide the appropriate next step and explain any additional work that may be needed before preparation begins.

We Review Your Information
Our team will review your information to determine whether Business Tax Preparation is the appropriate service or whether another solution may better fit your situation.
Depending on your records and filing needs, the next step may be business tax preparation, bookkeeping cleanup, catch-up work, accounting review, or prior-year tax preparation.
Complete Your Organizer and Upload Documents
If your engagement is accepted, we will provide your tax organizer and instructions for securely uploading documents through the client portal.
Your organizer and supporting documents help us understand the business activity, income, expenses, balance sheet, payroll, ownership, and other items needed to prepare the return.
Preparation Begins
Your return will be prepared through our firm workflow and reviewed before filing.
If additional information is needed, our team will send a request through the client portal.
Internal Review and Filing
After preparation is complete, your return undergoes an internal quality review before being delivered through the portal for your review and signature.
Once the return is reviewed by you, signed, and paid for, we will electronically file the return.
If a full Tax Planning engagement is approved and paid, we will begin the detailed strategy blueprint, implementation steps, and written tax plan.
