S-Corp Election
Elect S-Corp status and save thousands in self-employment taxes annually
Why Choose This
If you are a profitable LLC owner or sole proprietor, you are paying 15.3% self-employment tax on every dollar of net income — Social Security (12.4%) and Medicare (2.9%) combined. By electing S-Corp status, you pay yourself a reasonable salary (subject to payroll taxes) and take the remaining profit as distributions — which are not subject to self-employment tax. For many business owners earning $80,000 or more in profit, this saves $6,000 to $15,000 per year. WeSaveTax handles the election, payroll setup, and ongoing compliance so you capture those savings correctly.
Tax Savings Analysis
Before filing anything, we run a detailed analysis comparing your current tax burden to projected taxes under S-Corp status. You see the exact dollar savings — accounting for payroll costs and additional compliance — so the decision is based on real numbers, not estimates.
Form 2553 Filing
We prepare and file IRS Form 2553 to elect S-Corp status for your LLC or corporation. Timing matters — the election must be filed within 75 days of the start of the tax year. If you are late, we pursue late election relief under Rev. Proc. 2013-30.
Payroll Setup
S-Corp owners must pay themselves a reasonable salary through payroll. We set up your payroll — federal and state registrations, pay schedule, tax deposits, and quarterly filings — so you are compliant from day one of the election.
Ongoing Compliance Support
S-Corp status adds compliance requirements — payroll tax deposits, quarterly 941 filings, annual Form 1120-S, and reasonable compensation documentation. We provide a compliance calendar and reminders so nothing slips through the cracks.
How It Works
From first consultation to final delivery — fully managed by qualified Tax Professionals.

S-Corp Eligibility Review
Not every business qualifies for S-Corp status. We verify that your LLC or corporation meets all requirements — US entity, no more than 100 shareholders, one class of stock, eligible shareholder types, and calendar or permitted fiscal year. If there is an issue, we identify alternatives.
IRS Form 2553 Preparation
Complete preparation and filing of Form 2553 including all shareholder consent statements. We handle the election effective date, coordinate with your tax year, and follow up with the IRS to confirm acceptance. You receive the IRS confirmation letter for your records.
Reasonable Compensation Analysis
The IRS scrutinises S-Corp owner salaries that are too low. We determine a defensible reasonable compensation based on industry data, job responsibilities, geographic location, and business revenue — documented thoroughly in case of audit.
Late Election Relief
Missed the 75-day window? In many cases, late election relief is available. We prepare the late election request under Revenue Procedure 2013-30, including the required reasonable cause statement and shareholder consents, and submit it with Form 2553.
