Why Business Owners Elect S-Corp Tax Status
Electing S-corp tax status changes how your business income gets taxed and how much you keep. Here is what the election actually does for you.
How Your Income Gets Split
Example: $120,000 net profitPass-Through Taxation
Your business income passes through to your personal return, so profits are taxed once instead of twice, unlike a C-corp structure.
Self-Employment Tax Savings
Only your reasonable salary is subject to payroll tax. Distributions beyond that salary are not, which is the core s corp tax savings most owners elect for.
Entity Choice Drives Savings
A sole proprietor or single-member LLC pays self-employment tax on all net income. An S-corp splits income into salary and distributions, lowering the amount exposed to payroll tax.
Potential QBI Deduction
Many S-corp owners qualify for the Qualified Business Income deduction on their share of pass-through profit, on top of the payroll tax savings.
Credibility With Lenders
Formal S-corp status signals a more established business structure to banks, investors, and vendors than an unincorporated entity.
Liability Protection Stays Intact
Electing S-corp tax treatment does not change your underlying LLC or corporation's liability protection. You keep the legal shield while gaining the tax treatment.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say About Us
FAQs
What is s corp tax?
S-corp tax is a pass-through tax treatment where business profit passes to shareholders’ personal returns instead of being taxed at the corporate level. The company files Form 1120-S, and each shareholder receives a K-1.
How do I file an s corp tax return?
An s corp tax return starts with Form 1120-S, along with a K-1 for each shareholder. You need accurate payroll records for officer compensation, a profit and loss statement, and a balance sheet. We handle the full preparation and filing during your engagement.
When should I elect s corp tax status?
S corp tax planning generally makes sense once your business is consistently profitable enough that the self-employment tax savings outweigh the added payroll and filing costs. Most owners see the benefit once net profit clears $40,000 to $60,000 a year, though the right threshold depends on your specific numbers. We review this during your free consultation.
Are s corp tax exempt?
No. S-corps are not tax exempt. They avoid double taxation by passing income through to shareholders instead of paying corporate-level tax, but that income is still fully taxable on each shareholder’s personal return.
How does entity choice impact s corp tax savings?
Your entity choice determines how much of your income is subject to self-employment tax. A sole proprietorship or single-member LLC pays that tax on all net profit. An S-corp only applies it to your reasonable salary, which is where most of the s corp tax savings come from.
How long do I need to keep s corp tax records?
The IRS generally requires you to keep s corp tax records for at least three years from the filing date, though we recommend seven years if you have significant deductions, losses, or asset sales on file. Payroll records supporting reasonable salary should be kept as long as the entity is active.
How much does an s corp tax return cost?
It depends on the number of shareholders and complexity. Our Basic Return plan starts at $399 for single-shareholder S-corps, with higher tiers for multi-shareholder entities needing more support.It depends on the number of shareholders and complexity.

What's the difference between s corp tax and business tax preparation?
Business tax preparation covers sole proprietors and single-member LLCs filing Schedule C. S-corp tax filing covers entities that have elected S-corp status, which requires Form 1120-S, shareholder K-1s, and payroll compliance that Schedule C filers don’t deal with.
