Starting a business in New Jersey or Pennsylvania
The first few decisions shape your taxes for years. We help you with:
- Choosing an entity: sole proprietor, LLC, partnership, S corporation or C corporation
- Getting an EIN and registering for state taxes, with Form NJ-REG in New Jersey or the PA-100 in Pennsylvania
- Setting up QuickBooks so your categories match your tax return
- Registering for sales tax and payroll taxes if you need them
Startup costs and your first tax year
You can usually deduct up to $5,000 of startup costs in your first year and spread the rest over 15 years. Costs from before you open count too, so keep those receipts.
If you want your new company taxed as an S corporation from the start, the election is due within two months and 15 days of the beginning of its first tax year.
Your first profitable year is also when estimated taxes start. We figure the payments so your first April isn't a surprise.
Small business taxes and accounting
Once you are up and running, our small business accounting plans include your tax returns and year-round support from our CPAs.
Our clients include contractors, construction companies, auto shops, real estate agents and investors, farms and any other small business.
