Federal & state income tax
Prepare and file your federal corporate return (Form 1120) and state returns, including California franchise tax, and plan estimated payments through the year.
U.S. tax, filed right.
Your books, kept ready.
A U.S. entity has federal, state, and local tax obligations from its first day. Our in-house CPA and EA prepare and file your returns, keep your books, and organize the transactions between your headquarters and your U.S. company.
THE STARTING POINT
Tax obligations that start before revenue does.
A foreign-owned U.S. company has filing duties even in a year without sales: an income tax return, an information return on transactions with related parties abroad, and state taxes that can apply simply because the company exists. We map what applies to your entity, when each deadline falls, and which records to keep from the start.
HOW WE SUPPORT YOUPractical help.
Practical help.
Connected from the start.
Foreign ownership reporting
File Form 5472 for transactions between your U.S. company and its foreign owners or affiliates, with the records the IRS expects to support it.
Sales tax
Determine where you must collect sales tax, register for permits, and file returns on the schedule each state sets.
Payroll tax
Open federal and state payroll tax accounts and file the quarterly and annual returns that come with employing people in the U.S.
Bookkeeping & accounting
Keep your books monthly, reconcile accounts, and produce financial statements your headquarters can consolidate.
Headquarters transactions
Document intercompany agreements, service fees, and loans between your headquarters and U.S. company so pricing is consistent and supportable on both sides.
WHAT YOU MOVE FORWARD WITH
Filed returns. Books you can rely on.
Depending on the engagement, you receive a tax calendar for your entity, filed federal and state returns, monthly financial statements, and intercompany documentation. Every filing is prepared or reviewed by our CPA or EA before it is submitted.
ONGOING OPERATIONS
A tax calendar that runs all year.
U.S. tax is a cycle of estimated payments, payroll filings, and year-end returns. We keep that calendar, respond to notices from the IRS and state agencies, and update your headquarters before each deadline rather than after it.
Discuss your scopeFAQ
A little more clarity.
Who prepares our returns?
Our in-house CPA and EA. Both are authorized to prepare returns and to represent clients before the IRS, so the person who prepares your filing can also answer a notice about it.
Do you work with our headquarters' accountants?
Yes. We share the U.S. figures and documentation your headquarters needs for consolidation and for its own tax filings, and agree on intercompany terms with them.
Can you take over from our current accountant?
Yes. We review prior returns and books, identify anything that needs correcting, and pick up the filing calendar from there.
