S-corp and C-corp structures are ways in which businesses can choose to structure themselves in a way most beneficial to their unique situations. They essentially function the same way in many aspects and share many of the same structures.
One difference between the two lies in how they are taxed. C-corp businesses pay taxes at the corporate level, whereas S-corp companies do not. Hence, C-corps file corporate taxes every year and experience double taxation.
Another difference is in the number of allowable shareholders. S-corp shareholder numbers can not exceed 100, whereas C-corp numbers can.
There are various advantages to choosing the S-Corp status. The three main ones are detailed below.
Please contact us to learn more about these and other benefits of incorporating as an S-corporation.

While S-Corp status is generally a great option for many types of businesses, business owners should be aware of some of the risks associated with it.
For one, S-Corp designation requires strict compliance with procedural and legal requirements, and they also tend to draw increased scrutiny from the IRS. However, hiring a corporate formation attorney can help ensure compliance.
Changing your business from an LLC (limited liability company) to an S-corp is possible, but to do so, you must meet the basic requirements of forming an S-corp. These requirements include having 100 or fewer shareholders, only one type of stock issued, and some other basic requirements.
Once S-corp compliance is ensured, the LLC will next file IRS form 8832, which will allow the LLC to choose S-corp taxation. Keep in mind that once this taxation step is complete, you must wait 60 months to change your company’s tax status again. Additionally, the business will still be considered an LLC with reference to state law.
To convert at the state level, limited liability companies must go through the state’s (New York’s) specific requirements to convert. A corporation formation attorney from our firm is ready to help you through the process.
An S-corp filing does not usually take more than a few weeks, regardless of whether the corporation is using a two-step process to become an S-corp. The forms are pretty clear on what is required.
However, in some cases, the formation can take months, depending on the situation. This is where having an S-corporation lawyer will help speed up the process.
Additionally, if the S-corp election can be made within the first two months and 15 days of a company’s fiscal year, the changes will affect that year. Otherwise, they won’t take effect until the next year.
To qualify as an S-corp, a business must meet a few essential requirements, including:
Eligible investors in a company looking to become an S-corp include individual members as well as certain estates and trusts.
