Small Business Tax Preparation in West Jefferson, OH
West Jefferson 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.

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.
