Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
I'm looking for a tax accountant (CPA, EA, or other qualified preparer) to handle 2025 tax filings across multiple entities, set up a new partnership return, and take on ongoing quarterly tax planning going forward. My situation: Single-member S-Corp, single state (no multi-state complexity) Annual business revenue: $100K–$500K - I already run W-2 payroll for myself through QuickBooks Online and pay a reasonable salary - Bookkeeper has closed out and reconciled the 2025 books in QuickBooks Online One LLC, 50/50 with a business partner, also holding rental real estate. Formed within the last year; the property only began generating rental income earlier this year, so there's no rental income to report for 2025. This is the first year this LLC needs to file a partnership return (Form 1065), including setting up partner capital accounts and K-1s. The first year with real rental income will be the 2026 return. Filing status: Married Filing Jointly. I've already filed a federal extension for 2025, so there's no immediate IRS deadline pressure, but I'd like to get started within the next few weeks Scope of work: Prepare and file my 2025 S-Corp return (Form 1120-S) Determine correct treatment and prepare filings for the 100%-owned rental LLC (likely disregarded entity reported on Schedule E, but please confirm) Set up and prepare a first-time Form 1065 partnership return and K-1s for the 50/50 rental LLC (recently formed, no rental income until partway through 2026), properly treating any pre-rental startup/organizational costs Prepare my personal return incorporating all of the above, plus relevant state filings Review my QuickBooks Online file and S-Corp reasonable salary/payroll setup for accuracy and tax efficiency Set up ongoing quarterly tax planning ; estimated tax payments, proactive strategy conversations (retirement contributions, deductions, entity-level decisions, depreciation strategy, etc.), not just once-a-year filing What I'm looking for in a candidate: - Experience with Single Member S-Corps and multi-entity small business owners specifically (not just personal returns) - Familiarity with rental real estate tax treatment (depreciation, passive activity rules, etc.) - Comfortable working in QuickBooks Online - Available for ongoing quarterly check-ins, not just a one-time engagement Clear communicator who can explain things in plain language BUDGET: I'm open on pricing structure; please quote either a flat fee covering all entities for the 2025 filings plus a separate rate (flat or hourly) for ongoing quarterly planning, or propose whatever structure you typically use for clients like this. To apply, please answer: - How many clients do you currently work with who have S-Corps plus rental LLCs, and do you offer ongoing quarterly planning (not just annual filing)? - Have you set up a first-time partnership return (Form 1065) and partner capital accounts before? Walk me through how you'd approach it. - What's your proposed pricing structure for (a) the full 2025 filing across all entities and (b) ongoing quarterly planning? - What's your typical turnaround time once you receive completed QuickBooks files? I'm looking for a tax accountant (CPA, EA, or other qualified preparer) to handle 2025 tax filings across multiple entities, set up a new partnership return, and take on ongoing quarterly tax planning going forward.
