Why your taxes are waiting on your books

  • A business tax return starts from your books: what came in, what went out, and what moved between you and the business.
  • When the books are months behind, someone has to rebuild those numbers before anything can be filed. Usually that is you, late at night, or your preparer, by the hour.
  • For calendar-year businesses, returns are due March 15 for partnerships and S corporations and April 15 for sole proprietors and C corporations. An extension moves the date once, and the books still have to be done.
  • We rebuild those months first, one account at a time, and hand your preparer one clean file, so the return goes out on numbers that match your bank statements.

How many months behind are the books?

Questions

Is the estimate a quote?

No. It's a range from your answers. On the free call you get a fixed written price before any work starts, and that's what you pay. No setup fee.

How long does a catch-up take?

About 2 to 4 weeks for up to 12 months behind, once we have your bank and card statements. For a longer gap, you get a date on the call.

What do I get at the end?

Every bank and card account reconciled to its statements, month by month. A profit and loss and a balance sheet for each year we caught up. A clean QuickBooks file, ready for your tax preparer or lender.

I don't have a tax preparer. Can you do my taxes too?

Yes. Morphology Tax prepares business taxes, and catch-up clients without a preparer get a discount.

Do I need to be on QuickBooks already?

No. If you're not on QuickBooks yet, setting it up is priced on the call.

What happens on the call?

You talk to Waqas Hussain of Morphology Tax for 15 minutes. You go over your answers, and if you want to go ahead, you agree a price and a start date. No obligation.

What if I'm years behind?

That's common. The estimate covers up to three years. Beyond that, the call sets the price.

What does it cost after the catch-up?

Monthly bookkeeping starts from $100 a month, depending on how many transactions you have.
