Corporate Tax Planning & Filing

Business returns planned, prepared, and filed with confidence.

Entity-level taxes are not personal returns with an extra schedule. Vision-Tax plans, prepares, and e-files corporate tax returns for LLCs, S-Corps, C-Corps, and Partnerships — with projections and deductions that help before year-end, not only after.

Combining Strategic Planning with Accurate Filing

Business tax preparation should accurately reflect how your company operates: contractor income, vendor expenses, multi-state activity, owner distributions, and tax elections already in place. Guessing late creates severe underpayment penalties and missed planning opportunities.

Vision-Tax pairs proactive tax planning with return preparation — so estimated taxes, deductions, owner compensation, and filing deadlines are managed as one seamless workflow for US small business owners, IT practices, and startups.

Phase 1

Entities we commonly support

Single-member and multi-member LLCs, S-Corporations, partnerships, and C-Corporations that connect to owner personal returns. If your consulting firm operates across multiple states or ownership percentages are changing, we map the exact filing picture.

Phase 2

Planning that directly affects the return

Before year-end we review financial projections, quarterly estimated tax pacing, retirement contribution timing (SEP-IRA, Solo 401k), Section 179 equipment purchases, and owner compensation questions that directly lower what you owe.

Phase 3

What preparation delivers

Organized collection of business records, return preparation with draft review, federal and applicable state filings, coordination with bookkeeping when available, and clear next steps for payments, extensions, and the upcoming tax year.

S-Corp W-2 Salary Optimization: Establish IRS-compliant reasonable compensation to shield thousands in self-employment taxes.
Foreign-Owned LLC Compliance: Timely Form 5472 and pro-forma 1120 filing to protect against $25,000 IRS late penalties.
Direct IRS e-File Confirmation: Electronic filing with official IRS submission acceptance timestamps.

Frequently Asked Questions

For calendar-year S-Corporations (Form 1120-S) and Partnerships (Form 1065), the deadline is March 15. For C-Corporations (Form 1120), the deadline is April 15. If more time is needed, we file Form 7004 to secure an automatic 6-month extension to September 15 / October 15.

In a standard LLC, 100% of net profits are subject to the 15.3% self-employment tax (Social Security and Medicare). In an S-Corporation, you pay self-employment tax only on your reasonable W-2 salary; remaining profits pass through as shareholder distributions with zero FICA tax.

Yes! We regularly prepare multi-state corporate and partnership returns. We calculate state income allocation factors, file state franchise returns, and ensure complete compliance wherever you have employees, remote contractors, or physical nexus.

We need your year-end Profit & Loss statement, Balance Sheet, prior year federal & state business tax returns, EIN confirmation letter, and details of any owner draws, salaries, and capital contributions made during the year.
