S-Corporation Formation

An S-Corporation is not a separate entity type, but a tax election that allows eligible corporations or LLCs to benefit from pass-through taxation while potentially reducing self-employment taxes. Businesses must first form an entity with the California Secretary of State and then make an election with the IRS, while also complying with California rules enforced by the California Franchise Tax Board.

As a dual-certified law and CPA firm, we specialize in determining whether S-Corp status provides meaningful tax advantages. We ensure proper structuring, reasonable compensation compliance, and ongoing tax strategy tailored to California business owners.
