April Tax Services — Filing & Quarterly Planning
ZenBusiness's tax filing and quarterly planning service through April Tax for single-member LLCs, multi-member LLCs, S-Corps, C-Corps, and partnerships. Money Pro's DIY filing and automatic tax-data sync remain limited to eligible single-member LLCs filing Schedule C.
Overview
April Tax is ZenBusiness's built-in tax filing and quarterly planning partner, available directly from your ZenBusiness dashboard without a separate login. April supports multiple entity types, including single-member LLCs, multi-member LLCs, S-Corps, C-Corps, and partnerships.
The important distinction is service type: April's broader Business Tax Filing and Quarterly Tax Planning services support multiple entity types, while the Money Pro DIY filing experience and automatic tax-data sync are limited to eligible single-member LLCs filing Schedule C.
April Tax offers two main products: Business Tax Filing (annual filing only) and Quarterly Planning + Tax Filing Bundle (quarterly strategy sessions plus the annual return). Both are available through your ZenBusiness dashboard.

Preparing for Your April Tax Session
Before your filing session or quarterly planning call:
If you use Money Pro:
- Make sure all transactions are categorized in Money Pro
- Your tax professional will have direct access to your business transactions — no prep needed
If you don't use Money Pro:
- You may be asked to upload financial information before the session
- Have your year-to-date income, expenses, and mileage totals ready
- Bring any specific tax questions you want to address
Accessing April Tax
- Log in at zenbusiness.com
- Go to Taxes in the left navigation (or via Money Pro → Taxes tab)
- Select the April Tax service you have (Tax Prep or Bundle)
- Follow the prompts to access your return or schedule a quarterly consultation
The "File Taxes" button becomes available January 1 each year. The IRS opens for electronic filing around January 29 — you can complete your return before that date and it will be submitted when the IRS opens.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who prepares my taxes?
Your taxes are prepared and reviewed by licensed tax professionals through April Tax, not by ZenBusiness employees directly.
Does April Tax cover federal and state taxes?
Yes, but what's included depends on your entity type. For eligible single-member LLCs, April can cover the Schedule C business filing plus the related personal return. For multi-member LLCs, partnerships, S-Corps, and C-Corps, April supports the business return service, with pricing and filing scope based on entity type.
Do I still need to pay estimated taxes if I have the Quarterly Planning Bundle?
Yes. Quarterly planning sessions help you calculate what to pay, but April does not make payments on your behalf. You pay directly to the IRS at eftps.gov and to your state's tax authority.
Can I use April Tax if I haven't used Money Pro?
Yes — Money Pro makes the experience significantly faster because your data syncs automatically, but it's not required. Without Money Pro, you'll be prompted to provide your financial information before the filing.
Is April Tax good for businesses with fluctuating or seasonal income?
Yes. The Quarterly Planning + Filing Bundle is specifically designed for businesses with irregular income — quarterly sessions help you plan and adjust your estimated payments throughout the year rather than getting a surprise bill in April.
Can S-Corps, C-Corps, and multi-member LLCs use April Tax?
Yes. April Tax services support multi-member LLCs, partnerships, S-Corps, and C-Corps through ZenBusiness. The main limitation is that Money Pro's DIY filing and automatic data sync remain limited to eligible single-member LLC Schedule C filers.
Are my tax documents kept confidential?
Yes. April Tax uses standard encryption to protect your tax data. Your documents are also accessible securely from your ZenBusiness dashboard.
