Service FAQs

Questions clients ask.

What is Schedule C, in plain English?
Schedule C is the part of the individual tax return where self-employment income and business expenses are reported. If you are a sole proprietor or single-member LLC, your business income usually lands there. The profit it shows then flows to your personal return and is also subject to self-employment tax.
Do I need a business license or LLC to deduct expenses?
No. Deductible expenses generally relate to a trade or business activity, not to whether an entity was formed. What matters is that the activity is a business and that you have records. If you are considering forming an LLC, our free Florida LLC and EIN course explains the basic steps.
Are the expenses I see online actually deductible?
Some are, some are not, and some depend on your facts. We review your actual expenses and records rather than applying a blanket list, so you know what is supported on your return.
How does an S corporation election work?
An S corporation is a tax election that can change how owner income is taxed: part salary subject to payroll taxes, part distribution. It is not right for every business, and it carries payroll and filing requirements. We discuss whether it fits your facts; we do not make a blanket recommendation.
What is the difference between a 1099 worker and a small business?
A sole proprietor without an entity files a Schedule C within their individual return. An LLC may file the same way by default or elect corporate treatment. Entity type changes the forms, deadlines, and owner compensation rules, which is why we confirm it first.
Do you file state business returns?
Scope depends on the business and its filing obligations. Florida has no personal income tax, but other obligations can exist. We identify what applies to your situation during the scoping conversation.
