FAQ
The main difference between an LLC and an S-Corp in Maryland is that an LLC is a separate legal entity from its owners, whereas an S-Corp is not a separate legal entity from the owners, who are referred to as shareholders.
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.
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.
Every Maryland corporation must file a corporation income tax return, using Form 500, even if the corporation has no taxable income or is inactive. Corporation income tax returns can be filed electronically, using approved software. Talk to your software provider about electronic filing options.
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.
Maryland recognizes the federal S corporation election and does not require a state-level S corporation election.
FL, SD and WY are typically the best for no personal/business taxes. Nexus rules still apply to other states.
The key benefits of forming an LLC in Maryland include limited liability protection, flexible tax options (like pass-through taxation), and a straightforward registration process. LLCs help safeguard personal assets and offer financial flexibility, making them a popular choice for new business owners.
File form 2553 to apply for S corp status The IRS requires that you complete and file your Form 2553: Within 75 days of the formation of your LLC or C corporation, or no more than 75 days after the beginning of the tax year in which the election is to take effect.
LLC taxed as an S corporation First, an LLC would need to elect to be taxed as a corporation by filing Form 8832, Entity Classification Election. After that, an LLC can then file a Form 2553, Election by a Small Business Corporation, to elect tax treatment as an S corporation.
