Small Business Tax Preparation in Springfield, OH
Springfield 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 Springfield
Springfield sits in Dayton Metro, a base economy of defense, healthcare, and manufacturing supported by University of Dayton, Wright State, and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. Clark County, where Springfield is located, is a large Ohio city with full county clerk services, vital records access, and a passport acceptance facility nearby.
Dayton Metro tax filers tend to need ITIN preparation, expat returns, multi-state W-2 filings, and ITIN-dependent child tax credit work — and the document trail matters more than the math. Our Clark County clients receive a complete return walkthrough — line by line — so they understand what was claimed, what was deducted, and why.
established immigrant communities — Jordanian, Iraqi, Russian, Mexican, and Vietnamese — concentrated around Beavercreek and Centerville — and Springfield, with a population near 58,032, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
we coordinate appointments around the drive so Dayton-area clients complete their work in a single visit. From Springfield (ZIP 45504), the trip is roughly 45 miles each way.
The 45-mile drive from Springfield (~55 min) makes it practical for an evening or Saturday tax appointment. We also serve families across the rest of Dayton Metro, where many of our Springfield clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.
Our Springfield clients commonly include families served by Springfield City Schools and workers and patients tied to Mercy Health Springfield Regional.

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 Springfield?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 45 miles from Springfield — typically a 55-minute drive. We're on the north side of Columbus between Cleveland Ave and I-71 with free parking. Walk in any day Monday through Saturday 10am–6pm, or Sunday 10am–4pm.
Do Springfield residents owe school district income tax?+
If you live within the Springfield City Schools boundary, you may owe Ohio school district income tax on top of federal and Ohio IT-1040 state tax. The SD-100 return is filed alongside your Ohio return. We handle all three (federal, state, school district) as part of standard tax preparation.
