Tax filing
US tax filing, from the books we already keep.
Federal and state returns for US startups — including the foreign-owned and foreign-subsidiary forms most firms get wrong. Published starting prices, on top of monthly bookkeeping.
What we file
| Form 1120 | Federal corporate income tax return. |
| State returns | State income and franchise tax returns wherever you have nexus. |
| Form 5472 | For US corporations 25% or more foreign-owned, and foreign-owned single-member LLCs. |
| Form 5471 (incl. NCTI) | For US companies with a foreign subsidiary, including the tested-income calculation. |
| FBAR (FinCEN 114) | Foreign bank accounts above $10,000 in aggregate during the year. |
| Delaware franchise tax & annual report | Filed on time, calculated on the method that gives the lower bill. |
| R&D credit (Form 6765) | Claimed with your return. Qualifying startups can apply up to $500,000 a year against payroll taxes. |
Why file with the people who keep your books
No handoff
The return is prepared from books we closed ourselves. No year-end scramble to explain your ledger to a stranger.
Foreign owners, handled
5472, 5471 and FBAR are routine here, not an exception. A missed 5472 alone carries a $25,000 penalty.
On the calendar
Deadlines tracked alongside the monthly close, with extensions filed when the numbers need more time.
Foreign-owned companies
A Delaware C-Corp with a founder outside the US
This is where most startup tax firms slow down or charge extra. A foreign shareholder triggers Form 5472, a foreign subsidiary triggers Form 5471, and foreign bank accounts trigger an FBAR — each with its own penalties if missed.
- Form 5472 and the pro-forma 1120 for foreign-owned single-member LLCs
- Form 5471, including the tested-income calculation, for foreign subsidiaries
- FBAR for company accounts held abroad
- Related-party transactions tracked in the books all year, so the forms are not a January scramble
