Key Quotes

“S Corp is simply a tax election. It is not an entity type. We're just electing for an LLC that we already have set up, or a C Corporation that we already have set up. We're electing for that entity to be taxed as an S Corporation. And really, the main reason for an S Corporation is to help lower the amount of self-employment taxes you pay.” – Mike Jesowshek, CPA
