Frequently Asked Questions

An S-Corporation is a special type of corporation that meets specific Internal Revenue Code requirements. It allows income to pass through to shareholders, avoiding double taxation at the corporate level.

To qualify for S-Corporation status, your corporation must meet certain criteria, including having no more than 100 shareholders and only one class of stock. Additionally, all shareholders must be U.S. citizens or residents.

The kit includes essential documents such as a checklist for S-Corporation status, notice of special shareholders meeting, minutes of the meeting, and resolutions regarding S-Corporation status.

Yes, existing corporations can elect to be treated as S-Corporations by filing Form 2553 with the IRS, provided they meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the kit.

S-Corporations allow profits to pass through to shareholders, which can result in lower overall tax liability. This avoids the double taxation typically faced by C-Corporations.

While it is not mandatory to have legal assistance, it is highly recommended to ensure compliance with all legal requirements and to properly complete the necessary documentation.

Failing to adhere to the requirements can result in the loss of S-Corporation status, leading to potential tax liabilities and penalties. It's crucial to maintain compliance with IRS regulations.

The processing time for an S-Corporation election can vary, but it typically takes about 60 days for the IRS to respond to Form 2553. It's important to file early to avoid delays.
