How to avoid mistakes converting to an S corporation

October 1, 2013

The corporate tax rules for creating an S corporation look pretty simple. But looks can be deceiving.

In fact, the tax code is full of little-known rules that can bite you if you haven’t done your homework. That’s why I suggest you check out my new article which has two purposes…

  1. It can help you avoid the potholes that will knock the wheels off your S corporation. (For example, handle things a little bit incorrectly and you could wind up with a C corporation. Ouch!)
  2. We’ll identify some of the very helpful rules that work to your advantage when you operate as an S corporation.

You’ll get the whole story when you read my new, free article titled Tax Tips: Avoid These Common Mistakes When Converting to an S Corporation.

Three ways our fact-filled article can help you:

  1. You’ll learn the five “musts” of S corporations. Your S corporation must conform to five important requirements if you want it to stand up to IRS scrutiny. We’ll tell you what they are when you read the full article.
  2. We’ll explain why you mustn’t forget your spouse. It’s always a good idea to remember your spouse. (Especially on your anniversary!) And IRS spousal rules must also be remembered and followed very carefully when you form your S corporation. We’ll explain them in detail when you read the full article.
  3. You’ll learn how to turn an LLC into an S corporation. It isn’t hard. You just have to follow the steps I explain. But… make one mistake and you could sink your S corporation! We’ll help you stay out of trouble with the IRS when you read the full article.
