Small business tax preparation

Simplify your small business taxes.

We help millions of business owners with self-employed and small business taxes each year. Work with your tax pro in person or virtually. We’ll ensure you get every credit and deduction available.

Self-employed

Being self-employed, also known as a sole proprietorship or independent contractor, is considered the easiest business type to form and operate. It’s also the default tax entity for those who work for themselves. The benefits of self-employment include low maintenance costs and the simple ways liabilities and profits are allocated.

S Corporation

S Corporations are structured to let small organizations operate as corporations. This business entity gives companies the benefits of incorporation with the tax advantages of a partnership, like the ability to pass deductions, corporate income, losses, and credits to shareholders for federal tax reasons.
