That is why S Corp payroll starts with reasonable compensation, not with choosing […]
IRS Form 2553 can look like a short filing that simply turns a business into an S corporation. That is not what it does. The form asks the IRS to apply S corporation tax treatment to an eligible LLC or corporation; it does not create a new legal entity under state law. That distinction matters […]
