How much does small business tax preparation cost in Chandler? Most Chandler small business returns run $500–$1,500 depending on entity type, transaction volume, and multi-state nexus. Tech professionals with RSUs, ISOs, ESPP, and a side LLC typically land in the $700–$1,200 range. All fees quoted flat in writing up front.
I work at Intel or Microchip with RSU income — can you handle equity compensation? Yes. We file Chandler tech employee returns with RSU vesting, ESPP qualifying and disqualifying dispositions, ISO AMT planning, and 83(b) coordination. We also catch the cost-basis adjustments brokers commonly miss so you don't pay tax twice on the same shares.
Do you handle Arizona TPT for Chandler service businesses? Yes. Chandler has its own city TPT rate on top of the state and Maricopa County components. We reconcile your monthly or quarterly filings to your books at tax time so your federal return matches what you reported to the Arizona DOR.
Should my Chandler-based consulting LLC elect S-corp status? Usually yes once profit clears about $50K–$75K, especially for IT and software consultants. The S-corp election can save five figures in self-employment tax annually, but only with real payroll and reasonable comp. We run the breakeven math, file Form 2553, and set up Arizona-compliant payroll.
Do I have to come to your office or can we file 100% remote from Chandler? Whichever you prefer. Our office at 2233 N 7th Street in Phoenix is a quick 25-minute drive up the 101 or I-10, and we also do fully remote with secure document upload, Zoom review calls, and e-signature.
Can you fix prior-year returns or file unfiled years? Yes. We routinely file 2–5 years of catch-up returns, pull IRS transcripts, negotiate penalty abatement, and set up installment agreements with the IRS and Arizona DOR. Most Chandler clients are fully current within 30–60 days.
