FAQ
Passive income consists of amounts derived from royalties, rents, dividends, interest and annuities. Although conventional rental income is passive in nature, rents derived from an activity where the S corporation/lessor renders significant services or incurs substantial costs will not be treated as passive income.
Because of the one-class-of-stock restriction, an S corporation cannot allocate losses or income to specific shareholders. Allocation of income and loss is governed by stock ownership, unlike partnerships or LLCs taxed as partnerships where the allocation can be set in the partnership agreement or operating agreement.
The IRS doesn't limit S corporation income. S corporations are incorporated companies that have made an election to be taxed as a pass-through entity rather than have double taxation.
You may or may not have heard of the S Corp Salary 60/40 rule. The guideline encourages setting reasonable compensation between 60% and 40% of the business's net profits. The IRS does not set this guideline. It should not be relied on as the only factor for deciding S corporation reasonable compensation.
After conversion from a C corp, an S corporation can inherit income such as rent, interest, retained earnings, funds derived from stock sales, etc. Passive income that makes up more than 25% of an S corp's gross income is subject to tax.
Is there a minimum salary for S Corp shareholder-employees? No — the IRS can't require a minimum salary for self-employed workers. The requirement only comes into play if you're paying distributions to shareholders.
More In Forms and Instructions Noncorporate taxpayers use Form 8582-CR to: Figure the amount of any passive activity credit (PAC) for the current tax year (including any prior year unallowed credits) and the amount of credit allowed for the current year.
Taxation of Passive Income While non-passive income is typically reported on a W-2 or a 1099 and subject to FICA taxes, passive income is reported on Schedule E of Form 1040 and is not subject to FICA taxes.
The good news is that if you're a U.S. citizen, you can own shares in an S Corp regardless of where you live. Whether you reside in the United States or live abroad, your citizenship qualifies you to own a stake in an S Corp. If you're not a citizen, you must qualify as a resident alien to own a stake in an S Corp.
Start with Schedule E, then use Form 8582, Passive Activity Loss Limitations, to summarize income and losses from passive activities, and to compute the deductible losses and any non-deductible losses to be carried forward to future years.
