As we venture from winter to spring, tax deadlines start to loom large. For a VC-backed startup, that means a fairly sizable list of to-dos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t panic. Filing your company\u2019s taxes could be easier than you think.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can founders prepare for tax season without the stress?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the thought of the tax deadline is already filling you with tension, take a beat. We have a handful of suggestions to help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, we\u2019ll call your attention to a few areas. Knowing about these key considerations now gives you ample time to address them, alleviating some of the stress. Additionally, we\u2019ll give you some tips to find the right partner to help you navigate your filings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LLC vs. C-corp tax filings: what founders need to know<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The deadlines and paperwork requirements depend on your entity type, so let\u2019s break it down:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>LLCs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re operating an LLC, the way you get taxed \u2014 and your deadline for filing \u2014\u00a0varies:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re <\/span><b>a single-member LLC<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can file as a sole proprietor. In that case, you don\u2019t need to prepare a separate business filing. Instead, you report business income on Schedule C of Form 1040 on your personal tax returns. That\u2019s due to the IRS by April 15.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have more than one member, you can file as <\/span><b>a partnership<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or elect to <\/span><b>file as an S-corp<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or C-corp. Partnerships need to submit Form 1065 to the IRS, while LLCs filing as S-corps file Form 1120S. Both of those are due March 17 next year (since March 15 falls on the weekend).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you elect to get <\/span><b>treated as a C-corp<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this next section applies to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>C-corps: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The IRS requires C-corporations to file their tax returns on Form 1120. The deadline for that paperwork is April 15th.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tax FAQs for VC-backed startups<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make this tax season easier for you, we want to briefly answer a lot of the frequently asked questions we get from clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which tax filings do startups need to stay compliant?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Federally speaking, all startups need to file:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Income tax returns<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payroll taxes (assuming you have employees)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1099-NECs if they paid any contractors more than $600 in any given year<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re subject to state tax filing requirements, too. These vary from state to state, but they usually include a:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">State income tax filing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Annual report along with fees or franchise taxes to operate your business in that state<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payroll taxes (assuming you have employees)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sales tax returns (assuming you operate in a state with sales tax)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, the tax filings your company is required to file depends on your entity type (e.g., C-corp vs. LLC) and the state(s) in which you operate. A CPA can help you figure out precisely what\u2019s required for your startup to stay compliant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payroll tax vs. income tax: what\u2019s the difference?\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have employees, your business is responsible for paying both income and payroll tax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Income tax is the tax you pay on your company\u2019s profits. The more you make, the more you\u2019ll need to pay here. That\u2019s true federally, and the vast majority of states charge a corporate income tax, too. A handful of states tax your gross receipts rather than your profits, but only Wyoming and South Dakota don\u2019t tax business income.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Payroll taxes, on the other hand, are taxes you pay when you have employees. These taxes get calculated as a percentage of the amount you\u2019re paying the employee. They go to fund programs like Medicare and Social Security.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do remote teams impact your startup\u2019s tax compliance?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your employee works from another jurisdiction, it can establish <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shaycpa.com\/nexus-101-how-remote-employees-impact-your-taxes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a nexus<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your company there. That might be enough for you to be required to pay taxes in that state or municipality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These laws vary by state. As a result, it\u2019s important to investigate what a nexus in that state would mean before you allow an employee to work from that locale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do startups need to know about the R&amp;D tax credit?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They need to know that this is a potential way to majorly slash your tax bill (think: hundreds of thousands of dollars). The IRS lets you claim a credit for money your company spends on research and experimentation, and that includes salaries for people undertaking that work (e.g., software engineers).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing to know: the way you can take this credit has changed in recent years. Per updates to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shaycpa.com\/updates-to-section-174-and-how-they-impact-your-company\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you now need to capitalize those expenses over several years: five for domestic expenses and 15 for foreign ones.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What should you look for in a startup tax expert?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearly, there\u2019s a lot that the decision-makers at VC-backed startups need to know in order to navigate their company\u2019s tax requirements. But you don\u2019t have to \u2014 and, really, shouldn\u2019t \u2014 go it on your own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good accounting partner for your company helps you stay in compliance and well-prepared for all of the filings that are applicable to your business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, look for someone who\u2019s actually a CPA \u2014\u00a0meaning they\u2019re state-certified and required to take continuing education to stay informed about the latest tax requirements. And find a CPA who has experience working with VC-backed companies. Between reporting to investors and maximizing the R&amp;D credit, a seasoned startup accountant can do a lot to help your company thrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filing startup taxes: how to get it right the first time<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you find your accounting partner, carve out some time to get ramped up with them. Tax issues arise when things get missed. You want to walk your accountant through the granular details of your financial picture. This way, they can help you pinpoint filing requirements \u2014 and tax savings opportunities \u2014 so you can do it right the first time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to learn more?
