C Corporation Tax Preparation
C corporation tax preparation requires careful coordination between federal Form 1120, New York State corporation tax, New York City Business Corporation Tax, shareholder transactions, and state apportionment. We provide professional C Corporation tax preparation in New York for corporations that need accurate federal, state, and local tax filings.
Form 1120
We prepare Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return, reporting corporate income, deductions, credits, assets, liabilities, and other required tax information. We review your financial records and tax adjustments to help ensure the federal return accurately reflects your corporation’s operations.
New York State Corporation Tax
New York C corporations subject to Article 9-A generally file Form CT-3, General Business Corporation Franchise Tax Return, or Form CT-3-A when applicable for combined reporting. New York’s corporate tax system can involve business income, capital, and fixed-dollar minimum tax calculations.
We review your New York filing requirements, tax bases, adjustments, and applicable corporation tax obligations.
New York City Business Corporation Tax
C corporations doing business in New York City may also have a separate NYC Business Corporation Tax filing obligation. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, corporations other than federal S corporations generally fall under NYC’s Business Corporation Tax rather than the former General Corporation Tax.
We consider applicable NYC filing requirements, business income, allocation, credits, estimated taxes, and other city-level tax considerations.
Officer Compensation
We review officer compensation, payroll, bonuses, and other payments to corporate officers as part of the tax preparation process. Properly classifying compensation helps keep your corporate books and tax return consistent.
Shareholder Transactions
Transactions between a corporation and its shareholders require careful accounting. We review shareholder distributions, contributions, reimbursements, and other related-party transactions to ensure they are properly recorded and considered for tax reporting.
Shareholder Loans
We review shareholder loans and related-party balances, including advances, repayments, interest, and outstanding balances. Proper documentation and classification can be important when determining the appropriate tax treatment.
Corporate Distributions
C corporations may make distributions to shareholders in the form of dividends or other payments. We review corporate distributions and shareholder activity to help ensure transactions are properly reflected in the corporation’s accounting records and tax filings.
Financing & Debt
Business financing can affect both your financial statements and tax return. We review loans, financing arrangements, interest expense, principal payments, and related debt balances to help ensure they are properly accounted for.
Fixed Assets & Depreciation
We review fixed assets, equipment, vehicles, property, and other capital expenditures and apply the appropriate tax treatment. This includes depreciation, asset dispositions, and applicable depreciation adjustments for federal and New York State purposes.
State Apportionment
If your corporation conducts business both inside and outside New York, determining the appropriate state apportionment can be an important part of the tax return. We review business activity, receipts, and applicable allocation and apportionment rules when preparing your New York filings.
Multi-State C Corporation Tax Filings
Corporations operating in multiple states may have additional income tax, franchise tax, or other filing obligations. We consider multi-state business activity, nexus, state-source income, apportionment, and filing requirements to help identify where your corporation may need to file.
