You've decided to elect S-Corp status... now what?
S-Corp election isn't the finish line, it's the beginning of a few important responsibilities that help you stay compliant and maximize the benefits.
• Payroll matters. The IRS requires shareholder-employees to receive reasonable compensation, and finding the right payroll solution is key.
• Bookkeeping matters. Good records help ensure you're capturing deductions correctly and keeping your S-Corp in good standing.
• Accountable plans matter. Many business owners don't realize they may be able to reimburse themselves for certain business expenses without creating additional taxable income.
• Documentation matters. Whether it's payroll records, expense reimbursements, or business mileage, keeping proper documentation is essential.
The good news? You don't have to figure it all out on your own. Our team can help you navigate payroll, bookkeeping, accountable plans, and the ongoing requirements that come with being an S-Corp.
