What is S Corporation?
S Corporation status is a federal tax election for an eligible domestic corporation or LLC. It generally passes income, losses, deductions, and credits through to shareholders.
Official guidance ↗Your starting checklist
What you’ll need
- A qualifying domestic entity with no more than 100 shareholders
- Eligible shareholders; no nonresident alien shareholders
- One class of stock and no ineligible corporate activity
- Form 2553, shareholder consent, and compliance with election deadlines
An existing legal foundation
An eligible LLC or corporation can elect S status while retaining its underlying legal structure.
Compensation planning
Working owners must receive reasonable compensation; payroll and distributions need professional review.
Beyond formation. Plan for payroll, Form 1120-S, shareholder schedules, and state requirements. S status does not guarantee tax savings, and certain corporate-level taxes can still apply.
For eligible shareholders only. Nonresident alien shareholders are not eligible for S Corporation status. Review the choice with a qualified tax professional. IRS eligibility requirements
