FAQ

The biggest difference between S corporations and LLCs is how they are taxed. S corporations are taxed as pass-through entities, meaning that the profits and losses are passed through to the shareholders' personal tax returns, while LLCs can choose to be taxed as either a pass-through entity or a corporation.

To qualify as an S Corporation in Illinois, a business must first be registered as a corporation in the state. It should then elect S Corporation status through the IRS by filing Form 2553.

Corporate bylaws are legally required in Illinois. Illinois statute §805 ILCS 5/2.20 requires that bylaws be adopted either by shareholders at the first shareholder meeting or by directors at the initial director meeting.
