Who This Is For

Built for the Self-Employed and S-Corp Owners

If any of these sound familiar, this service was built for your situation.

You are a 1099 contractor

Freelance or consulting income is hit with self-employment tax, and it adds up fast.

Your LLC is profitable

You are paying full self-employment tax on every dollar and wondering if there is a better way.

You are unsure about an S-Corp

You have heard an S-Corp can save tax, but no one has run your actual numbers.

You guess at quarterly taxes

Estimated payments are a shot in the dark, and penalties keep catching you off guard.

Your S-Corp salary is off

You elected S-Corp status but never set a defensible, reasonable salary.

Your income jumped

A strong year brought a tax bill you did not see coming, and you want to plan ahead.

Clarifications

Self-Employed and S-Corp Questions, Answered

When does an S-Corp election actually save money?
Generally when your business profit is high enough that the self-employment tax savings outweigh the added payroll and administrative cost. There is no magic number, so we run your actual figures before recommending it.
What is reasonable compensation?
The IRS requires S-Corp owners to pay themselves a reasonable salary for the work they do before taking the rest as distributions. Setting it too low is a common audit trigger. We determine a defensible figure.
Do I have to pay quarterly estimated taxes?
Usually, if you expect to owe at least 1,000 dollars for the year. We calculate what to pay and when so you avoid underpayment penalties.
Can you set up the S-Corp for me?
Yes. We handle the election and the setup guidance. If you also need the entity formed, see our Business Formation service.
I already elected S-Corp but did it wrong. Can you fix it?
Often, yes. We review your salary, payroll, and filings and correct the structure going forward so it holds up.
How much does this cost?
You get one flat fee, quoted after a free consultation, based on the scope of your business and goals, before any work begins.
