** Be aware that most multi-owner LLC’s are legally required to file a more complex partnership or S-Corp tax return (see partnership and S-Corp prep fees).
As well, each partner or shareholder is legally required to file a separate individual income tax return to include his or her share of profits or losses from ownership in the business.
Small Business Tax Return Fee Includes:
- One federal and one state sole-proprietor tax return
- Tax return preparation for single-member LLC’s, sole-proprietors and 1099 contractors; all forms and schedules, including Schedule C; electronic tax return copies; electronic tax payments and e-file.
Minimal additional small business bookkeeping fees typically apply; however, at your discretion we will prepare your partnership or S-Corp tax return using books prepared by you or a third party.
Bookkeeping fees will apply for necessary reconciliation of 3rd-party bookkeeping. Adjustments to 3rd party bookkeeping will be completed ONLY upon request. Otherwise, tax returns will be prepared with no adjustments to 3rd-party bookkeeping.
When books are incorrectly prepared your tax return will contain errors. Without completing an independent reconciliation of business books, your Doorstep Mobile Tax preparer will have no way to identify these errors.
Since beginning operations in 2010, we have found significant bookkeeping errors with 100% of self-prepared and 3rd party bookkeeping provided for tax preparation. Therefore it is strongly advisable to allow Doorstep Mobile Tax to prepare all bookkeeping used to complete your business tax returns.
Bookkeeping fees will be based on volume and complexity and will be quoted prior to tax return completion.

For partnerships with more than 2 partners, or S-Corps with more than 2 active (working) members, an additional $50 – $150 prep fee will be assessed per additional partner.
Minimal additional small business bookkeeping fees typically apply; however, at your discretion we will prepare your partnership or S-Corp tax return using books prepared “as-is” by you or a third party.
Your Doorstep Mobile tax professional will reconcile or adjust 3rd party bookkeeping ONLY upon request; additinal bookkeeping fees will apply. Otherwise, at your discretion, your tax return will be prepared only with standard book-to-tax adjustments (required for tax preparation).
When erroneous books are provided and are not reconciled or corrected, your business tax return will, by default, contain errors. Without completing an independent reconciliation or correction of business books, your Doorstep Mobile Tax preparer will have no way to identify errors that will pass on to your business tax return.
Self-prepared books and books prepared by “bookkeepers” almost always contain material errors. Therefore, it is strongly advisable to allow Doorstep Mobile Tax, or a qualified CPA, to prepare all bookkeeping used to complete your business tax returns.
Individuals who advertise as “bookkeepers” are typically not trained accountants and typically do not have an adequate skillset to prepare business books.
Bookkeeping fees will be based on volume and complexity and will be quoted prior to tax return completion.
Partnership or S-Corp tax returns for states other than Georgia: $350 per state.
Note that partnership tax return preparation fees do not include reporting for each partner’s non-reimbursed deductible out-of-pocket business expenses, including home office, mobile phone, etc.
Unreimbursed partner out-of-pocket business expenses (i.e., travel cost paid by the partner) are required by law to be reported on that partner’s individual income tax return. A partner’s unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses should never be reported directly on the partnership tax return.
Only business expenses reimbursed to a partner by the partnership should be reported directly on the partnership tax return as deductible expenses.
Unreimbursed S-Corp expenses incurred by active shareholders (individual owners actively working in the business) cannot be expensed by the S-Corp or by the active shareholder. Therefore, to ensure that all deductions are claimed, it will be imperative to reimburse all active S-Corp members for all out-of-pocket business expenses incurred.
