Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about S-Corporation formation and tax savings

How much can I really save with S-Corp status?

Most S-Corp owners save $3,000-$7,000+ annually in self-employment taxes. The exact amount depends on your net income and salary structure. For example, with $100,000 net income, you could save approximately $6,480 by paying yourself a $60,000 salary and taking $40,000 as distributions (which avoid the 15.3% SE tax).

What's a "reasonable salary" and why does it matter?

The IRS requires S-Corp shareholders who work in the business to pay themselves a “reasonable salary” subject to payroll taxes before taking distributions. A reasonable salary is what similar positions earn in your industry and location. We help you determine an audit-proof salary level that balances tax savings with IRS compliance.

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

Yes! If you have an existing LLC, you can elect S-Corp tax treatment by filing IRS Form 2553. You keep your LLC entity but get taxed as an S-Corporation. This is often the easiest path. We handle the entire conversion process, ensuring you meet IRS deadlines (within 75 days of formation or by March 15 for current year election).

What are the ongoing costs of maintaining an S-Corp?

Main costs include: payroll processing, annual state filing fees, registered agent, and accounting/tax preparation. Despite these costs, most profitable businesses still save significantly with S-Corp status.

When is the deadline to elect S-Corp status?

For a new corporation, you must file Form 2553 within 75 days of formation. For existing businesses wanting S-Corp status for the current tax year, the deadline is March 15. If you miss the deadline, you can elect for the following tax year. We ensure you never miss critical deadlines.

Do I need to run payroll for myself as an S-Corp owner?

Yes, if you work in the business, you must pay yourself a W-2 salary through regular payroll (with withholding taxes). This is a key requirement for S-Corp status. We connect you with affordable payroll providers and help you set up compliant payroll processes. It’s simpler than most people think!
