Prepare the Return From Records You Can Defend.
Business return preparation connects the entity, books, payroll, owner activity, estimates, state obligations, and individual return—rather than treating the filing as isolated form entry.

Annual compliance anchor
The return should reflect the business that actually operated.
SetRight reviews the filing requirements and the records beneath them for S corporations, C corporations, partnerships, multi-member LLCs, and coordinated owner filings within the agreed scope.
Review books and balance sheet
Reconcile financial statements, prior-year carryovers, loans, assets, liabilities, equity, and material adjustments.
Coordinate payroll and owners
Review payroll reporting, compensation, distributions, contributions, loans, reimbursements, and owner schedules.
Address missing records
Identify unresolved bookkeeping, processor, payroll, asset, state, or prior-year information before final preparation.
Complete pre-filing review
Confirm open questions, diagnostics, authorization requirements, delivery expectations, and what remains outside scope.
Improve the next cycle
Use filing results to identify bookkeeping, estimate, entity, compensation, and advisory needs for the coming year.
Records before forms
Cleanup is not automatically included.
If the books cannot support the return, SetRight may recommend a separate bookkeeping cleanup. For proactive decisions, explore Tax Planning & Advisory.
Common questions
Before you take the next step.
How much does a business tax return cost?
Pricing depends on entity type, states, ownership, bookkeeping condition, transaction complexity, prior filings, and the schedules or coordination required. SetRight reviews the facts before confirming scope and fee.
Is bookkeeping included with the business return?
Routine tax-preparation adjustments may be addressed within the written engagement, but bookkeeping reconstruction or cleanup is not automatically included. Material cleanup is separately scoped.
Can you prepare both the business and owner returns?
Yes, when included in the engagement. Coordinating the entity and owner returns can reduce gaps involving Schedule K-1 reporting, estimates, and owner-level tax items.
Can you file an extension for the business?
SetRight can prepare an extension when authorized and engaged in time. An extension generally extends the filing deadline, not the payment deadline.
Can you help with an unfiled business return?
Yes. We first identify the missing years, entity status, available books, notices, and related filings, then provide the appropriate scope.
Do you guarantee a refund or tax savings?
No. Business tax results depend on the facts, records, tax law, elections, timing, and prior activity. SetRight does not guarantee a particular result.
