How much does small business tax preparation cost in Mesa? Most Mesa small business returns (single-member LLC on Schedule C, partnership 1065, or S-corp 1120-S) run $500–$1,500 depending on transaction volume, multi-state filings, and bookkeeping clean-up. We quote flat fees in writing — no hourly surprises.
Do you handle Arizona TPT for Mesa businesses? Yes. Mesa has its own city TPT rate on top of the state and Maricopa County components, and the filing cadence depends on your annual liability. We reconcile your TPT filings to your books at tax time so your federal return matches what you reported to the Arizona DOR.
Can you help me decide if my Mesa LLC should elect S-corp status? Yes. For most Mesa owners the S-corp election starts saving self-employment tax once net profit clears about $50K–$75K, but only if you actually run payroll and pay reasonable comp. We run the math, file Form 2553, and set up Arizona-compliant payroll.
Do I need to drive to Phoenix or can we work remotely from Mesa? Whichever you prefer. Our office is at 2233 N 7th Street in Phoenix — a short drive from Mesa via the 202 — and we also do 100% remote with secure document upload, Zoom calls, and e-signature.
Are tax preparation services tax deductible for Mesa business owners? For business filers: yes. The portion of your tax-prep invoice tied to Schedule C, rental Schedule E, or your business return (1065, 1120-S, 1120) is fully deductible as an ordinary business expense. We split the invoice so your business return captures every dollar that qualifies.
Can you file prior-year or back-tax returns for me? Yes. We routinely file 2–5 years of catch-up returns, pull IRS transcripts on your behalf, negotiate IRS and Arizona DOR penalty abatement, and set up installment plans. Most Mesa clients are fully current within 30–60 days.
