How much does small business tax preparation cost in Gilbert? Most Gilbert small business returns (single-member LLC on Schedule C, 1065, or 1120-S) run $500–$1,500 depending on volume, multi-state filings, and bookkeeping condition. Family-business returns with multiple owners or K-1s typically land in the $900–$1,800 range. All flat-fee, quoted in writing.
Do you handle Arizona TPT for Gilbert restaurants and trades? Yes. Gilbert has its own city TPT rate on top of the Arizona state and Maricopa County components, with restaurant-specific rates. We reconcile your monthly or quarterly TPT filings to your books at year-end so your federal return matches what you reported to the Arizona DOR.
Should my Gilbert family business elect S-corp status? Usually yes once net profit clears about $50K–$75K per active owner. The S-corp election saves self-employment tax, but only with real payroll, reasonable comp, and clean owner-distribution tracking. We run the breakeven math, file Form 2553, and set up Arizona-compliant payroll.
I own rentals in Power Ranch and Seville — can you handle multiple Schedule Es? Yes. We file Gilbert investor returns with 5, 10, or 30+ rental properties, including cost segregation, bonus depreciation, passive-loss tracking, and real-estate-professional status elections when they apply.
Do I have to come to your office or can we work fully remote from Gilbert? Whichever you prefer. Our office at 2233 N 7th Street in Phoenix is about 30 minutes up the 202, and we also do 100% remote with secure document upload, Zoom review, and e-signature.
Can you file back-tax or unfiled returns for me? 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 Gilbert clients are fully current within 30–60 days.
