What is the Delaware Franchise Tax and when is it due?
It’s a flat annual fee for being incorporated in Delaware — not a tax on your revenue. Most startups can reduce it to $400 using the right calculation method. Due every year by March 1.
Do I need bookkeeping if I’m just getting started?
Yes! Even if you have zero revenue, tracking your expenses early saves money and stress later. TaxHero helps you auto-tag expenses from bank statements as you grow.
What forms do I need to file if I pay contractors?
If you paid any freelancer over $600, you’ll need to file Form 1099-NEC by January 31. Don’t worry—TaxHero will remind you and guide you through it step-by-step.
I got a $8,000 Delaware tax bill. Is that real?
It’s a default estimate. Most early-stage startups can reduce it to $400 using the “assumed par value” method. TaxHero shows you exactly how to file with that calculation.
What’s the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping is daily expense tracking. Accounting is year-end tax filings. TaxHero helps you handle both automatically—no spreadsheets needed.
What startup expenses are tax-deductible?
Software, marketing, founder salaries, legal fees, even Zoom Pro. If it's a legit business expense, you can usually deduct it. We help you track and categorize automatically.
What do I need to incorporate in Delaware?
Just choose a name, hire a registered agent, and file the certificate of incorporation. You can do this via Stripe Atlas, Clerky, or Doola—and TaxHero syncs with all of them.
Can I start a US company if I live abroad?
Yes. Founders from anywhere in the world can start a Delaware C-Corp using services like Stripe Atlas. TaxHero is built for global founders with US companies.
Can I file my taxes by myself?
You can—but it’s risky. With TaxHero, you upload your data, review auto-generated tax forms, and file confidently without needing a CPA for simple filings.
Taxes without the complexity
With AI-powered bookkeeping and tax filing, you stay focused on what matters: building your startup.
