BIZ TIP

NEED HELP FILING THE CORRECT TAX FORMS FOR YOUR BUSINESS? Paying federal income taxes depends upon the legal form of your business.  Consider the following:

Sole Proprietorship: You must file IRS Federal Form Schedule C along with your personal Federal Income Tax return (form 1040) and any other applicable forms pertaining to gains or losses in your business activity.

Partnership: You must file a Federal Partnership return (Form 1065).  This is merely informational to show gross and net earnings of profit & loss.  Also, each partner must report his share of partnership earnings on his individual Form 1040 based on the information from the K-1 filed with the Form 1065.

Corporation:  You must file a Federal Corporation Income Tax (Form 1120) Return.  You will be required to file a personal federal income tax return (Form 1040) on your earnings from the corporation based on the W-2 received from your employer.

Need a personal referral for a professional tax accountant/consultant to assist you with filing your taxes on your business? Call Pleshette at (916) 470-2337.
