LLCs and S corps

From the books to a reviewed return.

Sole props, single-member LLCs, partnerships, and S corps. The owner’s Form 1040 is calculated here. A Schedule C can be filed without a preparer. An S corp or partnership stops, because this desk does not prepare Form 1120-S or Form 1065.

You sign the 1040

You review the figures, pick a plan, and sign. The mock e-file says nothing was sent to the IRS.

Single-member LLC

Disregarded for tax. Profit lands on Schedule C, with self-employment tax.

S corp with a paycheck

Reasonable wages stay on the W-2. The rest is pass-through and is not taxed again as self-employment.

A partnership K-1

We carry a simplified ordinary number to the 1040 and say, plainly, that the 1065 is a separate return.
