An LLC doesn't have a single tax form of its own. How your LLC files depends on how many owners it has and how it's taxed, and each has a different deadline. Our Enrolled Agents and CPAs handle LLC tax filing and small business tax preparation for sole owners, partnerships, S corporations and C corporations nationwide.
| Your business | Default tax treatment | Return we prepare | Usual deadline (calendar year) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-member LLC | Disregarded entity | Schedule C with Form 1040 | April 15 |
| Multi-member LLC | Partnership | Form 1065 + K-1s | March 15 |
| LLC or corporation with S election | S corporation | Form 1120-S + K-1s | March 15 |
| Corporation or LLC taxed as C corp | C corporation | Form 1120 | April 15 |
Not sure how your LLC is set up for tax purposes? We check your IRS records and election history before preparing anything.
If you're the only owner and haven't made an election, the IRS treats your LLC as part of you. Single-member LLC tax filing means reporting business income and expenses on Schedule C with your personal return. We make sure your business deductions are complete and your self-employment tax is correct. Self-Employed & 1099 Tax Preparation.
Multi-member LLCs file a partnership tax return on Form 1065 and issue a Schedule K-1 to each member. The partnership usually doesn't pay income tax itself, but late returns carry penalties for each partner, for each month late. We prepare the 1065, allocate income correctly and deliver K-1s in time for members to file.
Many LLC owners elect S corporation status to reduce self-employment tax. That election comes with rules: owners who work in the business must take a reasonable salary through payroll. Our S corp tax return preparation includes the 1120-S, shareholder K-1s and a check that payroll and distributions line up. Payroll Services.
C corporations pay tax at the corporate level and file Form 1120. We prepare the corporate tax return, track estimated payments and advise on how owner pay and dividends affect your total tax.
