Corporate Tax Return Preparation

My corporation’s books are closed and reconciled for the year, and I now need the federal and relevant state business tax returns prepared and filed. The task centres on tax preparation, specifically corporate (Form 1120 and associated schedules), with an eye toward full compliance while making the most of legitimate deductions and credits. All transaction data is available in QuickBooks Online alongside payroll reports, prior-year returns, and fixed-asset depreciation schedules. I will provide secure access to those records as soon as the engagement starts. I also need a short explanatory memo highlighting key positions taken, any carry-forwards applied, and suggestions for future quarterly estimates so that next year’s filing is smoother. Deliverables • Completed corporate tax return forms (federal + state) ready for e-file submission • Filing confirmations once accepted by the IRS and states • Brief summary memo of tax strategies, adjustments, and next-step recommendations Please base your work on current IRS regulations, GAAP standards where relevant, and any applicable state guidance. Accuracy and a clear turnaround timeline are important to me, and I’m available to answer ledger-specific questions quickly so the project moves forward without delay.
