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, all of whom must be U.S. citizens or residents, and only one class of stock.

The kit includes essential documents such as a checklist for S-Corporation status, notices for special shareholders meetings, minutes templates, and affidavits of mailing.

Yes, you can elect S-Corporation status after forming your corporation, but you must do so within a specific timeframe and meet the eligibility requirements set by the IRS.

S-Corporations provide tax benefits such as avoiding double taxation on corporate income and allowing shareholders to report income and losses on their personal tax returns.

While legal assistance is not strictly required, it is highly recommended to ensure compliance with all regulations and to properly complete the necessary documentation.

Failure to comply with S-Corporation requirements can result in the loss of S-Corporation status, leading to potential double taxation and other legal complications.

Shareholder meetings should be held at least annually, and special meetings may be required for significant decisions, such as electing S-Corporation status.
