S Corp Taxes Benefits
S Corps, offer several tax benefits to business owners. Here are some key advantages:
1. Pass-through taxation: S Corps are considered pass-through entities, meaning that the business itself does not pay federal income taxes. This can help avoid double taxation that occurs with C Corporations.
2. Self-employment tax savings: Unlike sole proprietorships and partnerships, S Corp shareholders who are actively involved in the business can potentially save on self-employment taxes. While they must pay themselves a reasonable salary subject to payroll taxes, any remaining profits distributed as dividends are not subject to self-employment taxes.
3. Deductible business expenses: S Corps can deduct ordinary and necessary business expenses.
4. Limited liability protection: Like C Corporations, S Corps provide limited liability protection to their shareholders.
