Corporate Tax Preparation & Planning

The return is simply where the year's planning shows up.

A cannabis return prepared by someone who does not specialize in cannabis is usually either overpaid or indefensible. Preparation and planning are not separate services here โ€” the return is simply where the year's planning shows up.

What's Included

โœ“Federal and state โ€” corporate return preparation
โœ“COGS allocation โ€” applied and documented
โœ“Multi-state filing โ€” apportionment and nexus analysis
โœ“Quarterly estimates โ€” and projections
โœ“Entity-level planning โ€” throughout the year, not in March
โœ“Documentation package โ€” supporting every material position

Why This Differs In Cannabis

On a normal return, the deduction schedule is the workhorse. On a cannabis return, most of it is disallowed, and the entire outcome turns on what was properly capitalized into inventory during the year. That means the return's quality was determined months earlier by how the books were kept โ€” which is why we would rather be involved before December than after.

By March, the year's outcome is already fixed. Planning that arrives then is commentary.
