FAQ
In the U.S., the largest payroll taxes are a 12.4 percent tax to fund Social Security and a 2.9 percent tax to fund Medicare, for a combined rate of 15.3 percent. Half of payroll taxes (7.65 percent) are remitted directly by employers, with the other half withheld from employees' paychecks.
Corporate excise taxpayers not filing as part of a combined report receive an automatic 6-month extension to file. These taxpayers generally include S Corporations, Security Corporations, Financial Institutions, Insurance Companies, Urban Redevelopment Companies, and Business Corporations.
S Corp owners must file Form 1120-S, U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation. Both C and S Corps follow the same guidelines for filing taxes with no income. If you had no income, you must file the corporation income tax return, regardless of whether you had expenses or not.
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.
S corps need payroll because the IRS needs to have a way to collect taxes from the business. Because the business is separate from the business owner, they are not responsible for paying Social Security and Medicare taxes on distributions.
Disadvantage #1: Not Making Enough Taxable Income If your business is not earning enough income, the costs of an S-Corporation may outweigh the benefits. Many tax advisors believe that business income should exceed $40,000 before considering an S-Corporation.
U.S. citizen can only participate in an S Corp if they are an emigre, meaning they have passed the IRS's substantial presence test or hold a green card.
