Answers before we begin
C Corporation Tax Preparation: common questions.
Is a C corporation return part of my personal return?
The corporation generally files its own income tax return. Shareholder-level income may also need consideration on a separate individual return.
Can an LLC be taxed as a corporation?
An LLC may elect corporate classification when applicable. Confirm the entity’s actual classification and effective dates rather than relying on its name.
Does the quote include every state?
State filing requirements and pricing depend on business activity. The engagement should list the returns included.
