QBI Optimization

The Section 199A deduction is worth 20% of your profit. But high-income service owners phase out. We use defined benefit plans to reduce taxable income and restore this massive deduction.

Health Insurance

S-Corp owners cannot take pre-tax health insurance premiums. We properly structure the >2% shareholder health insurance add-back so you still get the full deduction on your 1040.

S-Corp FAQ

Your questions about S-Corp tax strategy, answered

01

When should I switch to an S-Corp?

When should I switch to an S-Corp?

Typically, when your net profit exceeds $60k-$80k per year. Below that, the cost of payroll and a separate tax return outweighs the tax savings.

02

Is an S-Corp a different legal entity?

Is an S-Corp a different legal entity?

No. An S-Corp is a tax election, not a legal entity. You form an LLC with the state, then file Form 2553 to ask the IRS to tax you as an S-Corp.

03

Does an S-Corp increase audit risk?

Does an S-Corp increase audit risk?

Generally, S-Corps have a lower audit rate than Sole Proprietorships (Schedule C). However, the IRS closely watches 'Reasonable Compensation' to ensure you aren't paying yourself $0 salary to avoid taxes.

04

Can I hold real estate in my S-Corp?

Can I hold real estate in my S-Corp?

NO. Never put appreciating assets (real estate) in an S-Corp. If you try to move the property out later, it triggers a deemed sale, and you pay tax on the appreciation. Real Estate belongs in an LLC taxed as a Partnership.

Stop Overpaying.

Most S-Corps are running at 50% efficiency. Let's turn it up to 100%.
