S-Corps

Determining which type of legal structure can be a daunting task for new business owners. Our knowledgeable attorneys can offer you the full scope of tax and business law applicable to your new entity.

S-corporations are similar to LLC entity formations in that they are both “pass-through” entities. There are restrictions on who can be an owner or shareholder as well as how many owners can be involved. An S-corporation is operated in a similar manner to the traditional C-corporation in regards to record keeping.

An S-corporation offers no flexibility in how profits are divided among the owners. There is a major difference between an S-corp and an LLC in the employment tax that will be paid on earnings, given that the owner of an LLC is considered self-employed. The entire net income of the business will be subject to self-employment tax. There are many other implications for choosing which entity is right for your business.
