Nstein Taxes
Small-Business & Self-Employed Tax Preparation
Organize business income, expenses, and filing requirements for your 2026 small-business tax return with Nstein Taxes.
Start with records you can reconcile
Business tax preparation depends on complete income and expense records. Bring a profit-and-loss report, account statements, and details of significant purchases. If the books need cleanup, discuss that scope before return preparation begins.
Questions for your first conversation
- How is the business legally organized, and has it made a tax election?
- Which owners, employees, contractors, and states are involved?
- Do payment-platform totals reconcile with deposits and refunds?
- Were assets purchased, sold, or used personally?
- What estimated payments were made?
A business name does not determine the tax return
An LLC can have different federal tax classifications. Bring formation documents, election notices, and the prior return so the filing requirements can be assessed. Confirm availability for your entity type before engaging the practice.
Plan beyond filing
Use the self-employment records guide to prepare. For changing profits or a new business, discuss estimated payments and tax planning.
