Preparing your own business tax return, especially for the first time, can be a frustrating experience if you don't have all the necessary information at your fingertips. Here's a list of items you may find helpful when preparing your business tax return:

•  Last year’s federal and state business tax returns
•  Articles of incorporation [i.e. List of officers, shareholders and possibly ownership percentages]
• If S Corporation, attach S Corp Acceptance Letter
• The state in which you incorporated your business
• Partnership agreement [i.e. Date the partnership started, List of partners, The amount of money each partner initially put into the partnership, and current ownership percentages, Details about any specific income or expense items that are NOT allocated based on profit, loss or ownership percentages, The method you use for tracking your business finances]
• Accounting records [If you use accounting software, such as QuickBooks or Quicken, to record your financial information, print out a Profit and Loss Statement and a Balance Sheet for quick reference as you begin your tax return. If not, you may wish to compile this information in an Business Income and Expnese worksheet. Regardless of which software you use, organizing your accounting records makes tax preparation much easier.]
• Bank statements [Analyzing deposits and expenditures will enable you to categorize income and deductions to prepare your tax return. It's a good idea to reconcile your ending cash balance to the checking account balance on your last bank statement of the year to ensure you've captured all cash transactions in your accounting records.
• Credit card statements
• Payroll reports including All Forms 941 and Form 940
• Copy of All W2,W3, and 1099 -Misc issued by your company (If any)
• Detail of asset purchases
• Detail of asset dispositions
• Depreciation Schedules
• Vehicle information

Note: Your previous year's return also is a great comparison tool once you think you have completed your current-year tax return. It can raise red flags about possible missed deductions, or items that seem unusually large or small in comparison to the prior year.

In addition to above list, you need to bring the following:

• The method you use to track your business finances (cash vs. accrual)
• Your federal and state tax ID number
• The date you incorporated or started your business
• The date you elected to become an S corporation
• Your business code number and business activity descriptions
• The method you use to track your inventory (if applicable)
• Your beginning balance sheet amounts

         (these are the same as  the prior year's ending balance sheet amounts)

• Shareholder or partner information if there are no changes
