  • Keys For Using An S Corporation

    If you have been considering forming a corporation or other business entity to provide yourself with limited liability and financing options in your business venture, you have made an important first step. You may have compared the tax benefits of corporations and limited liability companies or limited partnerships. If you have done so, you likely realized that corporations are taxed twice, while limited liability companies and limited partnerships are taxed once. While a corporation's profits are taxed once as the corporation's income and again when the profits are distributed as dividends, a limited liability company or limited partnership's profits flow through the entity and are only taxed once as personal income to the individual member of the limited liability company or partner in the limited partnership. This is referred to as flow-through taxation. Based solely on the tax treatment of corporations, you may be prepared to use a limited liability company or limited partnership for your business.

  • C Corporation Considerations

    A C Corp has the widest range of deductions and expenses allowed by the IRS, especially in the area of employee fringe benefits. A C Corp can set up medical reimbursement and other employee benefits, and deduct the costs of running these programs, including all premiums paid. The employees, including you as the owner/shareholder, will also not pay taxes on the value of those benefits. This is not the case in a flow-through entity, such as an S Corp, LLC or LP. In each of those cases the entity may write off the costs of the benefits, but any employee/shareholder who owns more than 2% of the entity will pay taxes on the value of their benefits received. So, if having the maximum deductions and all of the employee fringe benefits on a tax-free basis is important to you, a C Corp may be your entity choice.
