Are S Corps subject to accumulated earnings tax?

However, the taxation of distributions is more complicated if the S corporation has C corporation accumulated earnings and profits (E&P). An S corporation does not generate E&P. However, it can possess E&P as a result of either converting from C corporation to S corporation or acquiring a C corporation.

Does an S corp have E&P?

The IRC 1368(e)(3) election allows for an S corporation with E&P to quickly distribute its entire E&P. The benefit of this election is that after E&P is eliminated, the S corporation can operate without having to consider its AAA when making distributions (unless it subsequently acquires E&P).
