FAQ's
Are there any state-specific filing requirements?
Yes, some states have additional filing requirements or taxes for S Corporations and Partnerships. Be sure to check your state’s regulations.
Do S Corporations or Partnerships pay federal income taxes?
- S Corporations: No federal income tax is typically paid by the S Corporation itself. Instead, shareholders pay tax on their share of the income.
- Partnerships: Similarly, Partnerships do not pay federal income taxes. The income is passed through to partners who pay taxes individually.
What is the "reasonable compensation" rule for S Corporation owners?
S Corporation owners who perform services for the corporation must pay themselves a “reasonable salary” subject to payroll taxes before receiving distributions.
Can an LLC elect to be taxed as an S Corporation or Partnership?
Yes, LLCs can choose to be taxed as either an S Corporation (by filing Form 2553) or a Partnership (default classification for multi-member LLCs).
How do I report health insurance premiums for S Corporation shareholders?
For 2% or greater shareholders, health insurance premiums should be included as wages on Form W-2 but are exempt from Social Security, Medicare, and FUTA taxes. Shareholders may then deduct premiums on their personal tax returns.
