FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the US corporate tax rate?
The federal corporate tax rate is a flat 21% under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. State corporate taxes range from 0% (e.g., Wyoming, South Dakota) to 11.5% (New Jersey), bringing the combined effective rate between 21% and 32.5% depending on the state.
When are federal tax returns due?
C-Corp returns (Form 1120) are due April 15; S-Corp and Partnership returns (1120-S / 1065) are due March 15. Extensions of 6 months are available. Individual returns (1040) are due April 15 with an automatic extension to October 15.
Do I need to file in every state where I sell?
Post-South Dakota v. Wayfair, states can require sales tax collection from remote sellers who exceed their economic nexus thresholds (typically $100K in sales or 200 transactions). For income tax, physical presence, payroll, or economic activity may create filing obligations.
What are the payroll tax obligations?
Employers must withhold federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) from employee wages while matching the latter two. Additionally, employers pay FUTA (6% on first $7,000, often reduced to 0.6% with state credits) and state unemployment taxes.
Can you handle international tax issues?
Yes — we handle FATCA reporting, FBAR (FinCEN 114), GILTI/Subpart F inclusions, foreign tax credit calculations, treaty-based positions, and transfer pricing documentation for companies with cross-border operations.
Can I outsource my entire bookkeeping to you?
Absolutely. We offer fully outsourced bookkeeping — daily transaction posting, bank and credit card reconciliation, AP/AR management, monthly financial statements, and year-end closing. Your dedicated team works on QuickBooks Online or Xero with real-time dashboards.
