What documents do I need to prepare my tax return?
Typically you will need identification, Social Security numbers or ITINs for everyone on the return, income documents (W-2, 1099, K-1), records of deductible expenses, last year's return and any IRS letters you received. After your consultation we send you a personalized checklist.
Does an LLC with no profit still need a tax review?
Yes. No profit does not resolve every filing obligation. Review the LLC’s tax classification, ownership, transactions, elections and relevant state requirements. Bring the formation documents, EIN confirmation, bank activity and any foreign-ownership information.
Do I need to review income if I did not receive a 1099?
Yes. A missing information form does not by itself remove the need to report taxable income. Reconcile payments with your records, including side work and platform activity, and identify missing or incorrect forms before preparing the return.
