Our office is also capable of preparing and e-filing Forms 1041 (Estate or Trust), 1065 (Partnership), 1120S (S-Corp), and 709 (Gift Tax) though we prefer to prepare these ‘specialty returns’ after the April 15 1040 deadline when we can devote more time and expertise to them. Feel free to contact us about filing extensions for these forms for you.
