S-Corporation

Save thousands in self-employment tax.

An S-Corp is a tax election, not a separate entity type. By electing S-Corp status, profitable owner-operators can reduce self-employment taxes meaningfully.

Best for
  • Profitable LLC owners (>$60K net)
  • Owner-operators paying themselves a salary
  • Consultants and agency owners
  • Small service businesses

Key benefits

Self-employment tax savings

Pay payroll tax only on a reasonable salary, not on distributions.

Pass-through taxation

No corporate-level tax — profits flow to owners.

Owner liability protection

Same shield as an LLC or C-Corp.

Credibility with clients

Looks more professional on contracts and invoices.

Flexible structure

Layered onto an LLC or C-Corp via IRS Form 2553.

Established tax framework

Decades of IRS guidance — well understood by CPAs.

S-Corp status is layered on top.
