What we see every week

The Problems Small Business Owners Bring Us Most

Almost none of these start as a tax problem. They start as a payroll run that went wrong, an S corp nobody set up all the way, or estimates nobody calculated. A CPA can fix all of them.

Payroll taxes withheld but not paid

Employees got paid, the withholding never reached the IRS or New York. The owner can be held personally liable, so this one comes first.

Fix it →

941 or NYS-45 never filed

Missing quarterly returns, even zero-wage quarters, trigger notices and estimated bills. We file every missing quarter and ask for the penalties back.

Catch up →

Your provider's payments failed

The last accountant or payroll company scheduled payments that bounced. Now there are IRS notices or a Department of Labor judgment. Fixable.

Sort it out →

S corp owner not on payroll

Distributions with no salary is the first thing the IRS checks. We set a defensible salary and run owner payroll for $275 a month.

Set it up right →

No quarterly estimates

Underpayment penalties and a big April bill. We calculate federal, New York State and City payments, or build them into your paycheck.

Get a plan →

Should I be an S corp?

Most calculators ignore New York City's corporate tax and the cost of payroll. We run your real numbers both ways before you file anything.
