The questions your team needs answered
Every s corporation tax return intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Has the IRS approved your company's S Corporation election? | Records the reported election status so the firm can verify the entity before scoping a return. |
| How many shareholders does the S Corporation have? | Shareholder count helps staff understand the allocation information they need to discuss. |
| What is the tax year for this return? | Identifies the filing period and whether the inquiry spans more than one year. |
| Do you currently have bookkeeping or financial records ready for this tax year? | Distinguishes organized records from incomplete books before staff plan the first review. |
| When do you need this tax return filed? | Preserves the requester’s target date for follow-up without promising a filing deadline. |
| Are you authorized to provide financial information on behalf of this business? | Records whether the requester reports authority to share the business’s financial information. |
| Has this S Corporation filed a tax return in a previous year? | Prior filing history gives the firm context for requesting earlier records and understanding the engagement. |

| Structured lead context | Records whether the requester reports authority to share the business’s financial information. Prior filing history gives the firm context for requesting earlier records and understanding the engagement. |
| Team review | The requester can select partial or unorganized records, or no records yet. The firm receives that context and decides what information or preparatory work is needed; the intake does not complete the books. |
Example s corporation tax return lead scenarios
Illustrative situations explain the intake questions and possible follow-up.
Organized records for the current year
An authorized requester reports an approved election and complete records. The firm can review a relatively well-defined filing inquiry with shareholder count and prior-filing context already captured.
Several years and partial books
A business selects multiple tax years and partial records. Staff can discuss the missing information and engagement scope before treating the inquiry as a routine current-year return.
Election status still uncertain
The requester answers no to approved election status. That answer receives less weight in this template; the firm reviews the entity information before deciding which service fits.

S Corporation Tax Return lead-intake FAQs
Does this intake verify the company is an S corporation?
It records the requester’s answer about IRS election approval. That answer is an intake signal, not independent verification of tax status; your firm checks the relevant records before accepting the work.
Can one inquiry cover more than one tax year?
Yes. The tax-year question includes current, prior, and multiple-year answers. Those choices give staff scope information without assuming every inquiry concerns the same filing period.
Which answers affect the initial priority score?
Approved election status, organized financial records, and requester authorization carry higher template weights than their less-ready alternatives. Shareholder count and the requested filing date also remain available for staff review.
What if the bookkeeping is incomplete?
The requester can select partial or unorganized records, or no records yet. The firm receives that context and decides what information or preparatory work is needed; the intake does not complete the books.
