Tax Preparation
Business and individual tax preparation, connected to the books.
Preparation and support for Form 1040, Form 1065, Form 1120-S, and Form 1120 for U.S. businesses and their owners. When Ashmore handles the accounting, the return is prepared from books that are already reconciled, reviewed, and understood.
Returns we prepare
Forms supported.
Form 1040
Individual returns, including owners with Schedule C, Schedule E rental activity, and K-1 income from partnerships and S-Corporations.
Form 1065
Partnership and multi-member LLC returns with partner K-1s.
Form 1120-S
S-Corporation returns with shareholder K-1s, coordinated with reasonable compensation and payroll.
Form 1120
C-Corporation returns.
The advantage
The bookkeeping and the tax return stay connected.
Instead of starting over with a separate provider at year-end, the same team that closed the books prepares the return. Year-end adjustments, depreciation, loans, and equity are already understood before the return is started.
- Enrolled Agent-led preparation
- Year-end accounting reviewed before the return
- Books that are not tax-ready are cleaned up first
- Multi-state returns where applicable
- Prior-year returns and catch-up filings after reconstruction
- Planning carried into the filed return
Pricing
Upfront fixed quote.
Tax preparation is quoted upfront based on forms, entities, states, and complexity. If the books need work before the return can be prepared, that is scoped separately and approved first. See how pricing works.
Books not ready?
CPA says the books need cleanup first?
That is a common starting point. A QuickBooks cleanup or catch-up project gets the file tax-ready, and the return follows from the same team.
