Small Business Tax Preparation in German Village, OH
German Village small business owners face a tax filing situation that depends entirely on entity type: sole proprietors file Schedule C on their personal 1040, single-member LLCs file the same way unless they elect S-corp, multi-member LLCs file Form 1065 partnership returns, S-corps file Form 1120-S with K-1s to owners, and C-corps file Form 1120. We handle all four — plus the bookkeeping cleanup that often has to happen first.

Why this Small Business Tax Preparation page is written for German Village
a remarkably diverse metro with established Somali, Bhutanese-Nepali, Eritrean, Ethiopian, Mexican, Guatemalan, and West African communities — and German Village, with a population near 4,500, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
In Columbus Metro, taxpayers most often come to us for ITIN preparation, mixed-status returns, and prior-year cleanup — the kind of work that requires careful identity-document review. For German Village taxpayers, we review every W-2, 1099, ITIN letter, and dependent ID against the return before anything is e-filed or mailed.
German Village sits in Columbus Metro, anchored by state government, OhioHealth, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Honda manufacturing east of the city, and a fast-growing logistics corridor along Rickenbacker. Franklin County, where German Village is located, is a small Ohio community where families often combine document trips into a single longer visit to a county or metro center.
I-270 outerbelt access makes our Morse Rd office reachable from any direction in 20-30 minutes. From German Village (ZIP 43206), the trip is roughly 8 miles each way.
At roughly 8 miles (~15 min drive) from German Village, we plan return prep to finish in one sitting whenever possible. We also serve families across the rest of Columbus Metro, where many of our German Village clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.

Should my LLC be taxed as an S-corp?+
For LLC owners earning $60,000+ in net profit, S-corp taxation often saves on self-employment tax — but it adds payroll requirements and a separate tax return. The break-even analysis depends on your specific profit, reasonable compensation requirement, and Ohio state factors. We run the numbers for you before recommending an election.
When is the business tax deadline?+
Form 1065 (partnership) and 1120-S (S-corp) are due March 15. Form 1120 (C-corp) and Schedule C (sole prop/single-member LLC) are due April 15. We can file Form 7004 for a 6-month automatic extension on entity returns. Ohio CAT returns have their own schedule.
Do I need to send 1099s to my contractors?+
Yes, if you paid any unincorporated contractor (sole prop, partnership, single-member LLC) $600+ during the year for services. Forms 1099-NEC are due to recipients and the IRS by January 31. We prepare and e-file 1099s as part of our small business tax service.
How far is your office from German Village?+
