Forming a corporation doesn't automatically give you S Corp tax treatment. You have to file Form 2553 with the IRS within a specific window after formation. World Trademarks Counsel handles the election filing on time, so you don't end up taxed as a default C Corporation by mistake.
File My S ElectionS Corporations face limits on the number and type of shareholders allowed, and violating those rules can terminate your election unexpectedly. World Trademarks Counsel structures your ownership to stay compliant with IRS eligibility requirements from day one.
Check My Eligibility
Filing the corporation and filing the S election are two separate steps that both need to happen correctly and on time. We manage both as one coordinated process, so nothing falls through between the state filing and the IRS filing.
Set Up My S CorpS Corporation owners need to run reasonable compensation through payroll rather than taking all income as distributions, and getting this wrong invites IRS scrutiny. Our attorneys set up the structure correctly and coordinate with your accountant on compliant compensation.
