New York City CPA Services
New York City business-tax treatment does not always follow the federal return's structure. KAS helps owners connect city obligations, entity classification, income allocations, and owner records before making an election or finalizing the year's reporting.

City Business Tax & Entity Planning
Unincorporated business tax review
New York City's UBT applies to certain unincorporated business activities and includes specific exemptions. Review the activity, ownership, and city allocation rather than assuming every LLC has the same result. Keep business receipts distinct from employee wages and investment records. NYC unincorporated business tax.
A federal S election is not the entire city analysis
NYC distinguishes its Business Corporation Tax from the General Corporation Tax that can apply to federal S corporations. Evaluate the city reporting consequences before changing tax classification. The federal election alone is not a complete entity-choice analysis. NYC corporation-tax guidance.
Receipts, allocation, and owner records
For a business serving customers inside and outside the city, maintain contracts, customer locations, payroll, and the basis for receipt allocations. Reconcile those schedules to the ledger and coordinate owner payments and distributions with the entity's cash needs.
How we scope the work
We start with the decision or filing you need to complete, the entities and people involved, and the deadline. After reviewing the available records, we identify missing information and propose the services and deliverables. For ongoing work, we establish a close and filing calendar so bookkeeping, tax projections, and owner reporting use consistent information.
Audits, reviews, and compilations for New York clients require New York CPA firm registration, which KAS does not hold, so KAS does not accept those engagements.

New York City CPA questions
Does forming an LLC decide which NYC business tax applies?
No. Review the LLC's tax classification, actual business activity, ownership, and city connection. Those facts are needed to evaluate the relevant city return and any available exemption.
