How long does it take to process a tax return?

  • The typical turnaround time for a tax return is 7-10 business days from the time we have collected all tax documents.

Pricing for Tax Returns. How much do you charge?

  • Individual Tax Preparation with Universal Bookkeeper starts at $250 per return.  This fee includes Schedule A, B, and 1 State filing.
  • Tax Returns with Schedule C – Profit & Loss from Business start at $350
  • Partnership (form 1065) and S-Corporation (form 1120-S) start at $500
  • Pricing will increase based on the time involved, organization of financial information, and the complexity of the return.

I have an LLC - How do I file my taxes?

  • It Depends,
  • If you are a Single Member LLC (no partners), then you will complete form Schedule C and the profit or loss from your business will be reported on your personal tax return.
  • If your LLC has partners (more than 1 individual, even your spouse), then you will first complete a Partnership tax return – Form 1065.  After that return is completed the proportionate amount of your LLC business income will then transfer to, and be recorded on your personal tax return.  The importance of the Partnership return is to be able to divide out each partners share in profits according to the Partnership’s organization.

I have Business Income, what information do you need for my tax return?

  • If you have a business, we will need for you to complete the Business Organizer.  This will allow us to capture all of the income and expense questions that are needed to properly complete the required tax forms.
