New York records we keep straight

NY sales tax

Sales tax collected (8.875% in New York City) held as a liability and tied to your ST-100 quarterly, ST-101 annual or ST-809 monthly filings.

NYC Unincorporated Business Tax

Sole proprietors, LLCs and partnerships doing business in the city may owe UBT. Clean books make the city return and its estimates straightforward.

S corporations and NYC tax

New York City doesn't recognize S corporation status, so S corporations also file a city corporate return. The books need to support both.

PTET, state and city

Elective New York State and New York City pass-through entity tax payments recorded correctly so owners' credits are supported.

Payroll and NYS-45

Withholding and unemployment insurance from your payroll provider recorded to match the quarterly NYS-45, plus MCTMT where it applies.

Commercial rent and the city

Rent, security deposits and lease costs recorded clearly; Manhattan tenants with large rents may also need records for the Commercial Rent Tax.

Bookkeeping questions

Bookkeeping reports are management reports for running the business and preparing tax returns. They are not audited, reviewed or compiled financial statements; those are separate engagements.
