Frequently Asked Questions
An S-Corporation is a special type of corporation that meets specific Internal Revenue Code requirements. It is designed to avoid double taxation on corporate income, allowing profits to be passed directly to shareholders.
To qualify for S-Corporation status in Wisconsin, your corporation must meet certain requirements, 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 shareholder meetings, affidavits of mailing, and resolutions regarding S-Corporation status.
This kit is specifically designed for use in Wisconsin and complies with state laws. For other states, you should seek forms that are tailored to their specific legal requirements.
S-Corporations allow income to be passed through to shareholders, avoiding double taxation at the corporate level. This can lead to significant tax savings for business owners.
Failing to adhere to the requirements can result in the loss of S-Corporation status, leading to the corporation being taxed as a regular C-Corporation, which may incur higher tax liabilities.
While it is not mandatory to have legal assistance, it is highly recommended to ensure that all forms are completed correctly and that the corporation complies with all legal requirements.
The approval process can vary, but typically, it may take several weeks to receive confirmation from the IRS once the necessary forms have been submitted.
