S Corporation Tax applies to companies or organizations that file an annual federal income tax return as an S Corporation and meets at least one of the following: Located in Minnesota. Have a business presence in Minnesota.
If you have high income, your business's current federal income tax liability as a C corporation may be lower than as a pass-through business. Example: Essco is an S corporation, and its shareholders are subject to tax at the highest tax rates. Essco makes $100,000 per year and distributes all its earnings.
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.
The IRS does not offer a standard form for changing your company's tax status from S corporation to C corporation. Instead, it simply requires a written statement be filed with the appropriate IRS service center, along with consent signed by a majority (more than 50%) of your corporation's 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.
File the form 2553 to apply for S corp election 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.
We recommend converting to a C-Corp if a company wants to issue qualified small business stock and plans on selling its business in no less than five years.
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.
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.
