Small Business Tax Preparation in Worthington, OH
Worthington 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 Worthington
a community where Somali, Arabic, Spanish, French, and Nepali are spoken every day across schools, workplaces, and houses of worship — and Worthington, with a population near 14,786, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
Across Columbus Metro, the tax filings we see most often are mixed-status household returns, ITIN applications, prior-year corrections, and small-business Schedule C filings for new entrepreneurs. Worthington families work with us to assemble accurate ITIN packets, proper dependent identification, and consistent address history across federal and Ohio state returns.
Worthington sits in Columbus Metro, home to Ohio State University, Nationwide Insurance, JPMorgan Chase operations, and the rapidly growing Intel Ohio One semiconductor campus in Licking County. Franklin County, where Worthington is located, is a mid-sized city with the basic county clerk and vital records services families need, plus access to nearby federal services.
COTA bus service connects the metro, but most appointments require driving — most clients reach our office via I-71, I-270, or Cleveland Ave. From Worthington (ZIP 43085), the trip is roughly 5 miles each way.
Worthington is about 5 miles from our Morse Rd office — typically a 12-minute drive. Most returns are completed in a single visit; ITIN packets sometimes need a quick follow-up for original-document return. We also serve families across the rest of Columbus Metro, where many of our Worthington clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.
Our Worthington clients commonly include families served by Worthington City Schools.

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 Worthington?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 5 miles from Worthington — typically a 12-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 Worthington residents owe school district income tax?+
If you live within the Worthington 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.
