Flow/Pass-Through Entities
S Corporations, partnerships and Limited Liability Companies (LLC’s) are all considered pass-through entities. Deductions on these pass-through entities are sent through to the partners or shareholders and then reflected on the individual owner’s personal return or Form 1040. A single member LLC will reflect their business operating results on their personal schedule C as part of their personal return whereas a multiple person LLC will:
-If being taxed as a partnership file IRS Form 1065 and then receive a K-1 reflecting an individual owners respective share of profits, which is then reflected on an owners personal income tax return.
-If being taxed as an S Corporation file IRS Form 1120S and then receive a K-1 reflecting an individual owners respective share of profits, which is then reflected on an owners personal income tax return. LLC’s can do a tax election if they follow the rules and guidelines thereof converting the LLC to an S Corporation for tax purposes, while remaining an LLC for legal purposes.
