Tax Savings on Self-Employment Taxes
S-Corp owners can pay themselves a salary and take additional income as distributions. This structure helps reduce the amount owed in self-employment taxes.
Pass-Through Taxation
Profits and losses pass through to shareholders’ personal tax returns. This avoids the double taxation that applies to traditional corporations (C-Corps).
Limited Liability Protection
Like an LLC, S-Corps protect your personal assets from business debts and liabilities. You’re not personally responsible for business lawsuits or obligations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are There Specific Rules For My State?
Each state has specific rules and requirements regarding Registered Agents, naming rules, business licenses, etc.
What’s My State’s Filing Fee for S Corps?
Filing costs to form an S Corp can vary from state to state.
Can I convert my LLC to an S Corporation?
Yes, you can elect S Corporation status for your existing LLC by filing Form 2553 with the IRS. Many business owners choose this path for potential tax savings as their business grows.
What is IRS Form 2553?
Form 2553 is the IRS document you file to officially elect S Corporation status for your business. We include this filing with all S Corp formation packages.
Do S Corps have ongoing filing requirements?
Yes. In addition to your state’s annual report, S Corps must file an annual federal tax return (Form 1120S) and provide K-1s to all shareholders each year.
Who can be an S Corp shareholder?
S Corps are limited to 100 shareholders, all of whom must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Certain trusts and estates can also be shareholders, but partnerships and corporations generally cannot.
Can a single person own an S Corp?
Yes, you can be the sole owner and shareholder of an S Corporation. Single-owner S Corps are common among freelancers and small business owners.
What is a “reasonable salary” for S Corp owners?
S Corp owners who actively work in the business must pay themselves a reasonable salary, subject to payroll taxes. What’s “reasonable” depends on your role and industry, but the IRS expects it to match what you’d pay someone else for similar work.
Can non-US residents own an S Corp?
No, all S Corp shareholders must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (green card holders). If you are a non-resident, you can own a C Corporation or LLC instead.
Are S Corps taxed at the state level?
Some states recognize S Corps and pass corporate income through to owners, while others tax S Corps like regular corporations. We’ll help you understand your state’s approach during setup.
How do I pay myself from my S Corp?
You pay yourself a salary as an employee (with payroll taxes), and you can also take distributions of profits, which may be subject to less tax. We can help you understand what’s required for compliance.
Can an S Corp own another business?
An S Corp generally cannot own another corporation or partnership, but it can own interests in an LLC. If you need a complex structure, we can recommend the best path for your business goals.
