Understanding the service
The correct entity-return route is reviewed for firms, LLPs and other eligible persons. Charitable entities may need a different form depending on their status.
Confirm the entity return route
Firms, LLPs and other eligible entities need a review of legal status and the applicable return rules. Do not choose a form from the organisation name alone. Charitable approvals or other particular circumstances may require a different route.
Connect accounts with partner records
Reconcile the accounts, relevant partner transactions and supporting computation schedules. Keep the agreement and changes in the entity file. Where audit or other professional reporting applies, coordinate the records so the return and report do not describe different financial positions.
Preparation checklist
Use this as a starting file, not a universal eligibility decision. ACS confirms the final checklist against your actual entity, activity and reporting period.
- PAN and applicable identity or entity records
- Income statements, Form 16 where relevant, and AIS / tax-credit records
- Bank statements, investments and relevant transaction details
- Previous return, accounts and supporting income schedules where applicable
Keep originals and final versions distinguishable. Record missing information before submission and use the agreed private channel for sensitive evidence.

What does the listed professional fee include?
The ACS fee covers only the work confirmed in your quote. Government fees, taxes, provider or certification-body charges and additional professional work are separate unless expressly included. Booking does not activate an online payment.
What should I share for the first discussion?
