FAQ
If you have an existing LLC you can convert to an S-Corp by completing IRS Form 2553. This form can be faxed or emailed to the IRS. It will usually take 6–8 weeks to get a confirmation letter back from the IRS. You are not officially an S-Corp until you receive the confirmation letter.
However, file an amended return if there's a change in your filing status, income, deductions, credits, or tax liability. Use Form 1040-X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return to correct a previously filed Form 1040 series return or to change amounts previously adjusted by the IRS.
A small business corporation elects federal S corporation status by filing federal Form 2553 (Election By a Small Business Corporation) with the Internal Revenue Service. When a corporation elects federal S corporation status it automatically becomes an S corporation for California.
The C corporation is the standard (or default) corporation under IRS rules. The S corporation is a corporation that has elected a special tax status with the IRS and therefore has some tax advantages. Both business structures get their names from the parts of the Internal Revenue Code that they are taxed under.
To qualify for S corporation status, the corporation must meet the following requirements: Be a domestic corporation. Have only allowable shareholders. Have no more than 100 shareholders. Have only one class of stock.
Although being taxed like an S corporation is probably chosen the least often by small business owners, it is an option. For some LLCs and their owners, this can actually provide a tax savings, particularly if the LLC operates an active trade or business and the payroll taxes on the owner or owners is high.
In order to become an S corporation, the corporation must submit Form 2553, Election by a Small Business Corporation signed by all the shareholders. See the Instructions for Form 2553 PDF for all required information and to determine where to file the form.
S corporations are corporations that elect to pass corporate income, losses, deductions, and credits through to their shareholders for federal tax purposes.
While a C corp may be best if you plan to go public one day, an S corp can be better for small companies. Each type of corporation has its own benefits and drawbacks, as well as differences when it comes to taxes.
