Tax Returns & Filing
Federal and California returns prepared, reviewed by a second person, and filed electronically.
Business
Set the entity up once, then keep it in good standing
Forming the entity, electing how it is taxed, and keeping it in good standing with the state.
The structure you pick in week one decides what you pay in tax for years, and California will keep billing an entity long after its owner stopped using it. We handle both ends: the formation and election at the start, and the filings that keep the entity alive and compliant afterwards.
What we do
Every service in this area
-
Business Formation & Entity Selection
The structure you choose in week one decides what you pay in tax for years. We pick it with the numbers in front of us, then file everything that has to be filed.
-
S-Corporation Election & Reasonable Salary
We run the numbers first, file Form 2553 inside its deadline, set a salary we can defend on paper, and then actually operate the payroll the election requires.
-
Entity Conversion & Dissolution
Moving from one structure to another, or closing one down for good — done in the order California and the IRS expect, so nothing keeps billing you afterwards.
-
Registered Agent & State Filings
The routine filings nobody puts in a calendar — Statement of Information, agent for service of process, city licence, DBA — held and filed by us so the entity stays current.
-
California Franchise Tax Compliance
The $800 minimum, the LLC fee, the vouchers that are easy to forget and the returns they attach to — tracked, paid on schedule, and put right when they were not.
-
Nonprofit Accounting & Form 990
Fund accounting, restricted-grant tracking, Form 990 and the California filings that quietly decide whether an exemption survives.
-
Real Estate & Rental Property Accounting
Per-property books, depreciation schedules that survive a sale, and returns prepared by people who read leases as well as ledgers.
