FAQ
An S corp can own an LLC. However, an LLC would generally not be able to own an S corp. An exception to this rule is if the LLC 1) is a single-member LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes and 2) meets the eligibility requirements to be an S corporation shareholder.
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.
There are fewer restrictions on who may hold ownership interests in an LLC. Ownership requirements will vary from state to state, but generally speaking, and subject to any existing business-related state restrictions, an S corporation will be eligible to be a member of an LLC.
If an LLC with multiple members attempts to own shares in an S-Corp, the Subchapter S election terminates automatically, and the corporation reverts to a regular C corporation that will be taxed at the company level going forward.
