An S-corporation, also known as an S-corp, is a pass-through entity. Corporations set up this way share the income, deductions, profits and losses of a corporation with it's owners. Shareholders are able to file their S- corp taxes at personal income tax rates as they pay taxes on their share of the S-corp's income. This allows S- corps to avoid double taxation on the corporate income.
Typically an S-corporation has employees, in this case the company is responsible for withholding federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare taxes from their paychecks requiring an S-corporation to file an IRS Form 941 each quarter to reports total witholdings.
The standard forms included with S-Corp filing are 1120S and Schedule K-1. If an S-corp has employees, a Form 940, Form 941 or Form 1099 may also be required. S-corps will also need to issue a W-2 to employees and Form 1099-MISC to independent contractors.
To qualify for S-corporation tax filing you must:
- Be a domestic corporation
- Have only allowable shareholder
- May be individuals, certain trusts, and estates
- May not be partnerships, corporations or non-resident alien shareholders
- Have no more than 100 shareholders
- Have only one class of stock
- Not be an ineligible corporation (i.e. certain financial institutions, insurance companies, and domestic international sales corporations).
