How the S-Corp Saves You Money

As a sole proprietor or single-member LLC, you pay 15.3% self-employment tax on every dollar of profit. With an S-Corp, you only pay it on your salary.

💰

Self-Employment Tax Savings

Pay SE tax only on your reasonable salary — not on profit distributions. Save 15.3% on the difference.

📋

IRS Form 2553 Filing

File the S-Corp election correctly and on time — within 75 days of formation or by March 15th.

💵

Reasonable Salary

Set your owner salary correctly to satisfy IRS requirements and maximize your tax savings.

📊

Payroll Setup

S-Corp owners must run payroll — we guide you through setup, withholding, and compliance.

⚠️

Eligibility Requirements

Max 100 shareholders, US citizens only, one class of stock — understand all the rules before electing.

🔄

LLC to S-Corp Conversion

Convert your existing LLC to S-Corp taxation without dissolving or restructuring your LLC.

Is an S-Corp Right for You?

Good fit if...

You earn $40,000+ in business profit, are a US citizen, have fewer than 100 shareholders, and want to minimize self-employment taxes.

Not ideal if...

You plan to raise venture capital, need multiple share classes, have foreign shareholders, or earn less than $40,000 in profit.

🤔

Not sure?

Our AI Legal Nerds will analyze your specific situation and tell you exactly whether an S-Corp election makes financial sense for you.

Stop overpaying in self-employment taxes

Most small business owners overpay by $5,000–$15,000 per year. The S-Corp election fixes that.
