Business Tax Preparation

Business Tax Returns

Keep your business moving. Get help with the taxes.

Running a business takes your attention in many directions. Tax season adds another set of records, questions, and decisions. Nikol Shapiro, CPA helps you bring those details together and understand what comes next.

Based in Plymouth, Minnesota, SHAPIRO Tax CPA works directly with business owners to prepare their returns. Start with a conversation about your business, how your books are kept, and what changed during the year.

Tax preparation that starts with your business.

Whether you work independently, have business partners, or manage an established company, your filing needs deserve individual attention. Nikol will review your business structure and records with you to determine the preparation needed.

  • Income and expense records for your business
  • Questions about filing for sole proprietors, LLCs, partnerships, and corporations
  • Payroll and contractor payment records
  • Equipment purchases, business vehicles, and other assets
  • Changes in ownership, operations, or business locations
  • How your business return connects with your personal tax preparation

A clear process from records to return.

  1. Talk through your business

    Tell Nikol what your business does, how it is organized, and what you need help with. She’ll discuss your filing needs and the information required to get started.

  2. Review your books and documents

    Share your financial reports and supporting records. Nikol will review them, ask about anything unclear, and identify missing information or bookkeeping work needed before preparation.

  3. Understand your return and next steps

    Nikol will prepare your return, explain the results, and answer your questions. You’ll know what needs your review and the next steps to complete your filing.

What should you have ready?

Start with the records below, where applicable. The documents needed will depend on your business and the activity during the year.

  • Your previous year’s business tax return
  • Year-end profit and loss statement and balance sheet
  • Business bank and credit card statements and supporting receipts
  • Payroll reports and contractor payment records
  • Details of equipment purchases, asset sales, and business loans
  • Records of owner contributions, distributions, and ownership changes
  • Estimated tax payment records and any tax notices you received

Not sure your books are ready? Mention it when you reach out so Nikol can discuss what needs attention. She’ll also explain how to share sensitive financial documents.

Plan for the next business decision.

Hiring, buying equipment, or expanding your business can raise tax questions throughout the year. Ask about business tax planning before your next major decision.
