Project Description
I oversee tax compliance for a U.S.-based C-Corp that owns several foreign subsidiaries and operates across numerous states. All bookkeeping and GAAP financial statements for the year are closed; what I now need is a seasoned U.S. corporate tax specialist to turn that data into a fully-compliant return package.
Scope of work
• Prepare a consolidated federal Form 1120 that properly captures intercompany eliminations.
• Complete every required state income/franchise return for the jurisdictions in which we have nexus.
• Draft and attach all foreign subsidiary forms (primarily Forms 5471 and related disclosures).
• Calculate and report GILTI inclusions, prepare Forms 8992/8993, and optimize the Section 250 deduction.
• Maximize the foreign tax credit, coordinating FTC baskets with our GILTI impact.
Acceptance criteria
All returns must tie back to our finalized trial balance, reconcile to Schedule M-3, and be e-file-ready. I will review a pro-forma tax reconciliation before filing, and I expect a brief memo explaining key positions taken on GILTI, FTC allocation, and any state apportionment nuances.
Software flex
I can export ledger data to Excel, QuickBooks, or directly into CCH Axcess/ProSystem fx if that is your preferred platform.
Timeline
First draft within two weeks of contract start, final filing packages ome week thereafter.
If you have recent, hands-on experience with consolidated C-Corp returns, multi-state compliance, and the GILTI/FTC interplay, I would like to discuss next steps and your availability.
