Frequently Asked Questions
An S-Corporation is a special type of corporation that meets specific IRS requirements, allowing it to pass income, losses, deductions, and credits directly to shareholders for federal tax purposes, avoiding double taxation.
To qualify for S-Corporation status, your corporation must meet certain criteria, including having no more than 100 shareholders, all of whom must be U.S. citizens or residents, and having only one class of stock.
The kit includes essential documents such as a checklist for S-Corporation status, notices for special shareholders meetings, affidavits, waivers, and minutes of the meetings.
Yes, an existing corporation can elect to become an S-Corporation by filing the necessary forms with the IRS and meeting all eligibility requirements.
S-Corporations allow profits to be taxed at the individual shareholder level rather than at the corporate level, which can lead to significant tax savings for business owners.
Yes, the election must be filed within two months and 15 days of the beginning of the tax year in which you want the S-Corporation status to take effect.
Failing to comply with S-Corporation requirements can result in the loss of S-Corporation status, leading to potential double taxation on corporate profits.
While it is not legally required to hire a lawyer, consulting with one can help ensure that all forms are correctly completed and filed, and that you fully understand the implications of S-Corporation status.
