Everything a tax department does, under one fixed fee.
Your Tax Director coordinates compliance, planning, and audit support across all four areas — you don't need to hire separately for each.
Corporate Income Tax
Short answer
VPTax's Corporate Income Tax service covers federal and multi-state corporate income tax return preparation — guaranteed within 10 days of receiving complete information — plus consulting on R&D tax credits, NOL studies, nexus reviews, and international expansion.
Compliance
Federal Form 1120 and multi-state corporate income tax returns, plus international information reporting, prepared for most businesses in 10 days once your information is complete.
R&D Tax Credit Studies
Identifying and documenting qualified research expenses so you claim the full federal and state R&D credit you're entitled to.
NOL & Section 382 Studies
Tracking net operating losses and analyzing ownership changes under IRC Section 382 so valuable losses aren't limited or lost.
Income Tax Nexus Review
Determining which states you have an income tax filing obligation in as you hire, sell, and grow across state lines.
International Expansion Structuring
Planning entity structure and tax treatment as you set up operations, subsidiaries, or a workforce outside the US.
IRS & State Audit Support
Representing your company through information requests, notices, and examinations from the IRS or state tax authorities.
Tax Provision (ASC 740)
Short answer
VPTax prepares the income tax provision (ASC 740) for your financial statements — including deferred tax assets, valuation allowances, and disclosures — and works directly with your auditors to answer their provision questions before they slow down your close.
Provision Preparation
Calculating current and deferred tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and valuation allowance analysis for your financial statements.
Financial Statement Disclosures
Drafting the tax-related footnote disclosures your auditors and investors expect to see.
Audit Support
Interfacing directly with your external auditors on provision questions, anticipating what they'll ask before they ask it.
Sales & Indirect Tax
Short answer
VPTax handles sales, use, property, and escheat tax compliance across roughly 10,000 US jurisdictions, plus nexus reviews, voluntary disclosure agreements, refund claims, and audit appeals — so you know exactly where you owe sales tax and stay current once you do.
Compliance
Sales, use, property, and escheat tax return preparation and e-filing across roughly 10,000 US taxing jurisdictions.
Nexus Reviews & Studies
Analyzing where your sales, employees, inventory, or contractors create a sales tax collection obligation.
Systems Implementation
Setting up and configuring sales tax automation software so collection and filing keep pace as you scale.
Refund Claims & Voluntary Disclosure Agreements
Recovering overpaid sales tax and negotiating limited-lookback voluntary disclosure agreements when past exposure turns up.
Assessment Appeals
Challenging state and local tax assessments on your behalf when a jurisdiction gets it wrong.
Non-US Support
Coordinating through VPTax's international alliance network on foreign income tax, VAT, and local credits and incentives.
Funding, Financing & M&A
Short answer
VPTax supports funding rounds, acquisitions, and exits with target-company tax diligence, delinquent filing cleanup, Section 382 studies, credit and incentive analysis, and integration reporting — surfacing tax exposure before it becomes a deal problem.
Acquisition Tax Diligence
Reviewing a target company's tax filings, exposure, and structure before you sign, so surprises show up in diligence, not after closing.
Delinquent Filing Cleanup
Preparing past-due federal, state, and local returns uncovered during diligence so the deal isn't held up by paperwork.
Section 382 Studies
Analyzing how a funding round or acquisition affects the target's ability to use existing net operating losses.
Credit & Incentive Studies
Identifying R&D credits and other incentives available to the combined company post-close.
Integration Reporting
Documenting the tax picture for the acquiring company's finance and accounting teams after the deal closes.
