Do you own a small business that requires a separate US corporate tax return filing as a C Corporation, S Corporation, or LLC?
Are you thinking about forming one? Do you operate a foreign corporation engaged in a U.S. trade or business, or hold 25% or more ownership in a US domestic corporation or LLC?
At Universal Tax Professionals, we specialize in helping businesses and international owners meet their annual US corporate tax return obligations with precision and care.
