Questions, answered
When your business profit is high enough that the self-employment tax you save on distributions is more than the extra cost of payroll, a separate business return and bookkeeping. Try our S corp savings calculator, then we check it with your real numbers.
For a calendar-year business, Form 2553 is due by March 15, 2027 for the election to take effect for 2027.
No. An LLC can keep its state LLC status and elect to be taxed as an S corporation by filing Form 2553.
S corp owners who work in the business must pay themselves a reasonable wage through payroll before taking distributions. We document a range based on what similar work pays.
You run payroll, keep books, and file Form 1120-S each year by the 15th day of the third month after your tax year ends (March 15 for a calendar-year business, so the 2027 return is due in March 2028). We can do all of it.
