S Corporation FAQs

Your S Corporation Questions, Answered

Understand the ownership, taxation, compensation, and compliance rules connected to S Corporation status. These answers explain the key factors eligible businesses should consider.

An S Corporation is a qualifying corporation or eligible entity that elects pass-through treatment for federal tax purposes. Income, losses, deductions, and credits generally flow through to its shareholders.

S Corporation refers primarily to a federal tax election rather than a distinct state entity type. The underlying business is usually organized as a corporation or eligible LLC under state law.

The business must generally be domestic, have no more than 100 shareholders, maintain one class of stock, and have only eligible shareholders. Certain companies cannot make the election.

A nonresident alien generally cannot be an S Corporation shareholder. Adding an ineligible shareholder may terminate the company’s S Corporation status.

Tax items generally pass through to shareholders and are reported on their individual returns. The company still files an informational return and may owe certain entity-level taxes in specific situations.

Shareholders who provide services to the company generally must receive reasonable compensation before taking non-wage distributions. Those wages are subject to applicable employment tax requirements.

An eligible LLC may elect to be treated as an S Corporation for federal tax purposes. The LLC remains an LLC under state law while following applicable S Corporation tax rules.

Responsibilities may include Form 1120-S, shareholder Schedule K-1s, payroll filings, annual state reports, corporate records, and business licenses. Requirements vary by state and business activity.
