Corporation tax preparation
Understand the work behind your return.
Corporation tax preparation starts at $900 per return for one federal entity return and one state. This is a starting fee, not an automatic charge. We review your records, return type and complexity before you accept the final proposal.
S corporation — Form 1120-S
Preparation for the agreed tax year using complete corporation records and ownership information. Your proposal confirms required shareholder schedules, the state return and any separately scoped items.
C corporation — Form 1120
Preparation for the agreed tax year using complete corporation financial records and supporting information. One state is included in the starting scope; additional jurisdictions and complexity are quoted.
Partnership — Form 1065
Partnership returns are available and can be included in a combined bookkeeping package. The fee is quoted after reviewing partners, records and filing scope; the $900 corporation starting fee is not a published partnership price.
Your agreed preparation workflow
- A record checklist and confirmation of the entity, tax year, federal return and state included.
- Review of the supplied financial statements and relevant supporting records, with questions raised when information is missing or unclear.
- Preparation of the return and the schedules confirmed in your proposal.
- A client review and authorization step before the agreed filing, followed by a copy of the completed return and available submission confirmation.
What may require an additional quote?
Bookkeeping cleanup, unreconciled records, additional states or local returns, additional entities, complex ownership or transactions, amended/prior-year work and estimated-tax planning are separate unless expressly included. IRS notice support requires a separate scope within the preparer’s permitted authority; IRS representation is not included in these packages. Required schedules and owner details are reviewed before quoting. Tax payments, government fees and software/provider costs are separate from preparation fees.
Why choose ExpressBooks?
Bring bookkeeping and tax preparation into one coordinated remote workflow. You receive a defined record request, practical communication and a written scope before work begins. QuickBooks Online and Desktop support helps connect year-round records with the annual preparation process. Meetings are by confirmed appointment. We explain the agreed work without promising a particular refund, tax saving or government outcome.
Combine monthly bookkeeping with an annual corporation or partnership return and ask about custom package savings after we review your business needs. Your written proposal confirms any savings against the same services purchased separately and one combined monthly ACH auto-payment, with annual-fee allocation, payment authorization and schedule agreed before enrollment. No fixed discount is guaranteed. Software/provider costs, government fees and tax payments are excluded; work already included is not charged twice.
