Small Business Tax Preparation in San Jose for LLCs, S-Corps and the self-employed
Behind on bookkeeping, scared of an IRS penalty, or not sure your LLC filed the right California forms? We prepare your business return and your personal return together, so nothing falls between the two.
Fingerscan Digital prepares Schedule C, single-member LLC, partnership (Form 1065), S corporation (Form 1120-S) and small C corporation (Form 1120) returns with the matching California forms. Self-employed income adds $175 to your personal return, partnership returns start at $395, S-Corp returns at $450 and C-Corp returns at $495. Prepared by Quinnie Do, CTEC ID A260452.
The costly mistakes we help owners avoid
Missing the March 15 deadline
Partnership and S-Corp returns are due a month before personal returns. The IRS late-filing penalty is charged for every owner, every month. We file on time or file your extension.
Forgetting California’s LLC rules
California LLCs owe the $800 annual franchise tax and may owe an extra fee based on gross receipts. We prepare Form 568 and your payment vouchers so the FTB does not send penalties.
Paying self-employment tax on money you did not keep
Mileage, phone, home office, supplies and equipment. We go through your expenses so your Schedule C shows your real profit.
An S-Corp owner with no salary
The IRS expects S-Corp owners who work in the business to pay themselves a reasonable salary. We review owner pay and distributions before we file.
Quarterly payment surprises
If you skipped estimated payments, April can hurt. We calculate your quarterly estimates for next year so there is no surprise.
Contractors without 1099s
If you paid a contractor $2,000 or more during 2026 (the threshold rose from $600), you may need to issue a 1099-NEC by January 31. We prepare and file them for you.
