From: kris@moosequest.net To: [SDO CPA contact — confirm contact via SDO CPA Philadelphia] Subject: Philadelphia-area PA LLC, S-Corp election deadline 2026-08-05, looking for local CPA relationship

Hello,

I'm Kristerpher Henderson, founder of MooseQuest LLC (EIN 42-2725169) — a single-member Pennsylvania LLC formed 2026-05-21, doing business as Raxx. Raxx is a software product for individual investors, currently in pre-launch stage and operating from the Philadelphia area. I'm looking for a local Philadelphia-area CPA who can offer a relationship-based engagement as the business grows — not just year-end tax prep.

I have a hard deadline in front of me: Form 2553 S-Corp election by 2026-08-05. That is the 75-day window from formation for a 2026 tax-year S-Corp election. I need a CPA to commit to handling this filing by that date, or advise me in writing that I should file it separately so I can act on it immediately.

I'm looking for two things:

1. Form 2553 S-Corp election filing — effective for the 2026 tax year, filed by 2026-08-05
2. Ongoing bookkeeping and tax prep — Form 1120-S, K-1, personal 1040 with Schedule K-1, quarterly estimated taxes, year-round availability

I value local presence specifically because I want a CPA who knows Pennsylvania's tax treatment firsthand — PA franchise tax, PA-specific treatment of pass-through income, PA SaaS sales-tax nexus questions, and Pennsylvania's sometimes unusual treatment of capital-related items (relevant because Raxx serves individual investors).

Specific issues I need covered in our engagement:

• PA franchise tax obligations for a single-member PA LLC
• S-Corp election mechanics and reasonable salary calculation pre-revenue (sole founder, no employees at formation)
• Quarterly estimated tax setup for 2026
• Apple In-App Purchase revenue recognition — Raxx will sell through the Apple App Store; Apple is merchant of record; I receive net proceeds
• Stripe subscription revenue recognition for direct web subscriptions

Materials I can send before we meet:

• EIN: 42-2725169
• Pennsylvania Articles of Organization (filed 2026-05-21)
• FinCEN BOI filing status — MooseQuest LLC is exempt under the March 2025 IFR (the reporting rule is currently stayed)

To schedule: Reply here with your availability or call me directly. I'm available most weekday mornings. Please include a quote or fee range for (1) the Form 2553 filing and (2) the ongoing bookkeeping and tax-prep relationship in your response — I'm evaluating a short list simultaneously and the August deadline means I need to make a decision quickly.

I'd also welcome the opportunity to meet in person given your Philadelphia presence.

Thank you.
