Most Kendall businesses don’t have a tax problem in April. They have a tax problem the previous summer, when nobody looked at the numbers, the S-Corp salary was never set, equipment was bought without thinking about depreciation, and the owner’s draws were never reconciled. By the time the return is due, the only question left is how big the check is.

We work the other way around. Our business tax clients in Kendall get their books closed monthly, a mid-year and a fourth-quarter planning conversation, and a return that simply confirms what we already decided. That’s what a CPA is for.

Business returns we prepare in Kendall

  • Form 1120-S (S corporations) — the most common structure for Kendall contractors, medical and dental practices, restaurants, and consultants. We set a defensible reasonable salary, manage distributions, and track basis so losses are usable.
  • Form 1065 (partnerships and multi-member LLCs) — including real estate partnerships, family-owned holding companies, and professional groups, with K-1s that your partners’ preparers can actually read.
  • Form 1120 (C corporations) — with Florida corporate income tax (Form F-1120) and planning around retained earnings, officer compensation, and the §1202 small-business-stock exclusion where it fits.
  • Schedule C (sole proprietors and single-member LLCs) — and an honest conversation about whether an S election would save you self-employment tax.
  • Nonprofit returns (Form 990) for Kendall churches, associations, and charities.

Florida and Miami-Dade filings that go with the federal return

A Kendall business return is never just the federal form. Depending on your entity and industry, we also handle the Florida corporate return (F-1120) and its estimated payments, the annual Sunbiz report that keeps your entity active, the Miami-Dade tangible personal property return (DR-405) on your equipment and fixtures, your 1099-NEC filings for subcontractors, and the Florida sales tax (DR-15) and reemployment tax (RT-6) returns if you aren’t already on our bookkeeping or payroll service.

Who this is for

Our business tax clients in the Kendall area look like this: a general contractor in West Kendall running an S-Corp with six employees and a lot of subcontractors; a dental practice near Baptist Hospital with equipment to depreciate and a building owned in a separate LLC; a restaurant group with two locations on Kendall Drive and a third opening on SW 137th Avenue; a trucking owner-operator in South Miami-Dade; a real estate investor with four rental properties in Kendale Lakes and The Hammocks; a law firm or insurance agency in the Dadeland office corridor. If your business is owner-operated and based in Kendall, you’re the client we built this practice for.

Business Tax Preparation in Kendall — FAQs

What do you charge for a business tax return in Kendall?

Business returns are quoted as a fixed fee after we see your books. A clean single-state S-Corp or partnership with reconciled QuickBooks is at the lower end; multi-state, multi-entity, or unreconciled books cost more because the work is more. You’ll have the exact number in writing before we begin.

Should my Kendall business be an S-Corp or an LLC?

An LLC is a legal structure; an S-Corp is a tax election an LLC (or corporation) can make. For most Kendall owner-operators netting more than roughly $50,000–$60,000 a year, the S election saves self-employment tax, but it adds payroll and a separate return. We run the numbers for your specific situation before recommending it.

Can you file my business return if my books are a mess?

Yes — but we’ll clean the books first, because a return built on unreconciled numbers is a return that gets amended. Our bookkeeping team handles catch-up work for Kendall businesses as part of the engagement.

Do you handle the Florida corporate income tax and the Sunbiz annual report?

Yes. For C corporations we prepare the Florida F-1120 and estimated payments. For every entity we track the Sunbiz annual report deadline (May 1) so you don’t pay the $400 late fee or get administratively dissolved.

What is the tangible personal property return, and does my Kendall business need to file it?

The DR-405 is Miami-Dade’s annual return listing business equipment, furniture, and fixtures as of January 1. Most businesses with equipment must file it by April 1; there is a $25,000 exemption, but you have to file to claim it the first year. We prepare it alongside your income tax return.
