What's the deadline to opt in?

March 1. After that, personal preparation isn't part of that year's filing.

What happens to my K-1?

It's prepared with your business return and reports your share of business income on your personal filing. On Pro, it carries over without you handling it.

Can I use my own accountant instead?

Yes. Lettuce handles the 1120-S and K-1 and provides documentation for your personal preparer.

What if my spouse earns income in the business?

For married filing jointly, both spouses can earn income into the same S Corp, but only one is treated as a W-2 recipient.

What if I had income before joining Lettuce?

Enter it during TrueUp along with any other off-platform income, expenses, and tax payments.

Does this cover my whole personal situation?

Lettuce prepares the return from what you confirm during TrueUp. What you owe or receive depends on your circumstances.

PERSONAL TAX RETURN

Personal Tax Filing, Included With Lettuce Pro

Your business return produces a K-1 and a W-2. On Pro, those flow straight into your personal 1040 instead of landing in your inbox as homework for someone else to sort out.

See How It Works

One Platform, Both Returns

Business and personal filings handled in the same place, by the same system that has your numbers.

Your K-1, Already There

The Schedule K-1 from your 1120-S reports your share of business income. On Pro, it carries into your personal return without you moving anything.

Your W-2, Already There

The salary Lettuce paid you through the year arrives on your personal return the same way.

Included, Not Billed Separately

Personal tax preparation is included for Lettuce Pro customers. Opt in by March 1.

Premiums Reported Correctly

Health insurance premiums paid through your S Corp are reported on your W-2, which is what makes the personal-side treatment possible. Whether you can claim it depends on your circumstances.

Prefer Your Own Preparer?

That works too. Lettuce provides the documentation your accountant needs for your household return.

1. Opt In by March 1

Personal tax preparation is included with Pro, but you need to opt in by March 1 so it's part of the year's filing.

2. Confirm Through TrueUp

The same year-end review that supports your business return covers the personal side, including off-platform income and tax payments.

Guaranteed Savings, or Your Money Back

If Lettuce doesn't save you more in taxes than you pay for Lettuce Pro, your subscription fees are refunded. No hassle. Lettuce-Back Guarantee. Learn more.
