S Corporations
S corporations are corporations that elect to pass corporate income, losses, deductions and credit through to their shareholders for federal tax purposes. Shareholders of S corporations report the flow-through of income and losses on their personal tax returns and are assessed tax at their individual income tax rates. This allows S corporations to avoid double taxation on the corporate income. S corporations are responsible for tax on certain built-in gains and passive income.
To qualify for S corporation status, the corporation must meet the following requirements:
-
Be a domestic corporation
-
Have only allowable shareholders
-
including individuals, certain trust, and estates and
-
may not include partnerships, corporations or non-resident alien shareholders
-
-
Have no more than 100 shareholders
-
Have one class of stock
-
Not be an ineligible corporation i.e. certain financial institutions, insurance companies, and domestic international sales corporations.
In order to become an S corporation, the corporation must submit Form 2553 Election by a Small Business Corporation signed by all the shareholders.
What kind of insanity is it that the only tax office in San Diego is essentially located on an island with no dock?
Who could possibly think that combining both federal tax agency with Immigration and not provide sufficient parking was a good idea?
Did the planners fail first grade math? How could they not count how many people would be working and using services in the building and provide accessible parking?
To compound their planning disaster, they put in a single security check point. It is rather like building a bathroom with the only access being a tiny dog door.
The IRS should open some satellite branches people can actually access.
