What is an S-Corp?

The Best of Both Worlds

An S-Corporation (S-Corp) is a special type of corporation that combines the liability protection of a C-Corporation with the tax benefits of a partnership or sole proprietorship.

Unlike a C-Corp, an S-Corp doesn't pay federal income taxes at the corporate level. Instead, profits and losses "pass through" to the shareholders' personal tax returns, avoiding double taxation.

This structure is particularly beneficial for small business owners who want to minimize their tax burden while maintaining the credibility and protection of a formal corporate structure.

FAQ

Common Questions

Get answers to frequently asked questions about S-Corporations.

What is the difference between an LLC and S-Corp?

While both offer liability protection, an S-Corp can provide significant tax savings on self-employment taxes. S-Corps also have more formal requirements and restrictions.

How much can I save in taxes with an S-Corp?

Savings vary based on income, but many business owners save thousands annually by avoiding self-employment tax on distributions. Consult a tax professional for specific projections.

Can I convert my existing LLC to an S-Corp?

Yes! You can elect S-Corp status for tax purposes while maintaining your LLC structure. This is often called an "LLC taxed as S-Corp" and is a popular option.

What is a "reasonable salary" for S-Corp owners?

The IRS requires S-Corp shareholder-employees to receive reasonable compensation. This varies by industry, location, and role. We provide guidance on determining appropriate salary levels.

How long does S-Corp formation take?

Typically 1-2 weeks for state filing, plus IRS processing time for S-Corp election. Expedited options are available for urgent needs.

Do I need a lawyer to form an S-Corp?

No, our service handles all the paperwork and filings for you. However, we recommend consulting with a tax professional to ensure an S-Corp is right for your specific situation.
