Questions

Utah tax FAQs

10 answers about taxes in Utah.

Do you prepare Utah state tax returns?

Yes. We prepare resident, part-year and nonresident Utah returns and file them with the Utah State Tax Commission, together with your federal return.

When are Utah individual returns due?

Many states follow the federal April 15 deadline, but some set their own dates. We track the Utah State Tax Commission deadlines for you and file extensions when they are needed.

Does Utah have a sales tax?

Yes. Utah charges sales tax, and local rates can add to the state rate. We help Utah businesses register, collect the right rate and file returns with the Utah State Tax Commission.

What payroll registrations does a Utah employer need?

Employers generally register with Utah for unemployment insurance and state income tax withholding, plus any other state payroll programs that apply. We handle the registrations and the ongoing filings.

Do I need to make Utah estimated tax payments?

If you have income without enough withholding, such as self-employment or investment income, Utah generally expects estimated payments during the year, with its own thresholds and due dates. We calculate federal and state payments together.

How are LLCs and corporations taxed in Utah?

Utah applies its own rules to LLCs, S corporations and C corporations, and in some cases charges franchise, gross receipts or minimum taxes regardless of profit. We review how your entity is treated in Utah before you form it or make an election.

I moved into or out of Utah. What do I file?

Usually a part-year return for each state you lived in during the year, with credits so the same income is not taxed twice. Our multi-state filing service handles this.

Can you represent me with the Utah State Tax Commission?

Yes. In addition to IRS matters, we respond to notices and audits from the Utah State Tax Commission when you authorize us to.

Can a Utah business work with BATS remotely?

Yes. We work with Utah businesses through video meetings, secure document upload and cloud accounting software, so there is no need to visit an office.

Which Utah cities do you serve?

We have dedicated pages for Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Provo, St. George, Ogden, and we work with clients anywhere in Utah.
