Every dollar you earn as a sole proprietor or single-member LLC is subject to self-employment tax. An S-Corporation splits that income into a salary and a distribution. The distribution is completely exempt from that 15.3%. Most business owners save between $10,000 and $30,000 in the first year alone.

You pay once. No retainer. No meter running. No invoice you didn't see coming.
No sales pitch. Just the structure, built correctly.
Q ) Is the S-Corporation election right for every business?
Not always. It makes the most sense when net income exceeds $40,000 annually. Below that threshold the payroll administration cost may exceed the tax savings. We assess your situation during intake before any filing is made.
Q ) Do I need to form a new entity?
Not necessarily. An existing LLC can elect S-Corporation tax treatment without changing its legal structure. The election is a tax classification change, not an entity formation.
Q ) What happens if I miss the election deadline?
The IRS has specific deadlines for the S-Corporation election. We file it correctly and on time. If you have missed the current year deadline, we assess whether a late election is available for your situation.
The S-Corporation election designates a reasonable salary for the owner — subject to payroll taxes — and treats remaining net profit as a corporate distribution exempt from the 15.3% self-employment tax. Every dollar above the salary threshold stops being subject to that tax. We file the election, build the salary and distribution structure, and coordinate with your CPA so the savings show up on your return the first year the structure is in place.
Most business owners set their own salary based on what feels right or what their accountant suggested years ago. That number has real consequences. Too high and you pay unnecessary payroll taxes on every dollar above what the IRS considers reasonable. Too low and you invite an audit. The correct salary is a documented, defensible number built around your actual net income — and it is the number that determines exactly how much of your profit moves to the distribution column where the 15.3% cannot touch it.
If you are running a profitable business as a sole proprietor, single-member LLC, or partnership and paying self-employment tax on every dollar of net income, you are overpaying. The S-Corporation election exists specifically to stop that. The IRS allows it. Most business owners simply were never told it applied to them.
The S-Corp Salary and Distribution Split package includes everything required to implement the election correctly — the filing, the structure, and the CPA coordination brief so your accountant understands exactly how to treat the income split on your return.
