Consultants, agencies and startups

Most of our Manhattan clients are service businesses with a few people: consultants, designers, marketing agencies, therapists, tutors and tech freelancers. The questions are usually the same. Should I be an S corporation? What salary should I pay myself? How do I stop overpaying quarterly estimates? We answer those with your real numbers.

NYC corporate taxes are different

New York City does not recognize the S corporation election, so an S corporation still files the NYC General Corporation Tax return. Partnerships and single-member LLCs may owe the NYC Unincorporated Business Tax instead. Many owners also qualify for the New York pass-through entity tax (PTET) election, which can turn state tax into a federal deduction. The election has to be made each year by March 15.

Restaurants and retail

For restaurants and shops we handle sales tax at 8.875%, payroll with tip reporting, and monthly books, so your tax return is ready the day the year ends.

Common questions

Is a Queens CPA a good fit for a Manhattan business?

Yes. New York City tax rules are the same in every borough, and we work remotely with most Manhattan clients.

What is the PTET election?

A New York election that lets a partnership or S corporation pay state tax at the entity level, which can make it deductible on your federal return. It is made each year by March 15.

How much is a business tax return?

From $1,000, depending on transactions and complexity. You get a written quote first.
