Legal Entity Tax Strategy: Schedule C to S-Corporation
Treating your LLC as an S-Corporation for tax purposes
If you are a sole-proprietor operating with an LLC, you can elect to be treated as an S-corporation for tax purposes. By moving your operations off your individual tax return, the 15% self-employment tax gets eliminated on earnings up to $128,400 and 2.9% for income greater than $128,400.
Reasonable Compensation
As an S-corporation shareholder, the IRS requires you to receive reasonable compensation (RC) from the S-corp. Your savings calculation depends on the difference between RC and income up to $128,400 times 15% and 2.9% on difference above $128,400.
The savings for this tax planning strategy will range from $3000 up to $15000 and more. Hiring the help of an experienced tax expert can make an enormous difference.
