 LLC’s can Legally Convert to an S Corporation Saving Thousands Annually 

LLC’s came in vogue approximately fifteen years ago when the state of Georgia enacted legislation allowing an LLC (Limited Liability Company) to be established. Although the LLC does allow for some greater flexibility and ease of operation it often results in a higher tax obligation that might not have been incurred if the business was an S Corporation.  

Tax law treats all the earned income from an LLC as being subject to both FICA & Medicaid taxes whereas an S Corporation has to pay those taxes reflected on W-2’s. For tax purposes, the law allows an S Corporation to legally convert to being an S Corporation as long as all active employee/owners pay themselves a fair and reasonable salary. This number is best determined by the facts, position, and profit of a business and the truest test of this calculation is what a business owner would have to pay someone else to perform their position.  

All businesses are unique and therefore all saving opportunities are different. But even the smallest of businesses with the smallest of profits may save approximately $6000 by converting from an LLC to an S Corporation. Already this year, we completed this process for an LLC saving them $25,274 of FICA/Medicaid taxes.  

There are only four rules to qualify for being an S Corporation.  You must:

-Have a December 31st year-end.

-Have less than 100 shareholders.

-Have shareholders who are U.S. citizens or resident aliens.

-Have only one class of stock.

 We offer a free initial consultation to see if converting your business to an S Corporation for tax purposes makes sense to you. Put our decades of experience to work for you ensuring you pay your lowest legal possible tax.

Duluth GA CPA Provides Tax Advice for S Corporation Owners &  C Corporations and LLC’s Electing to be Taxed as an S Corporation 

To help keep your payroll fees down I suggest issuing a monthly paycheck, whenever possible, that way you will save payroll processing fees and unnecessary administrative time. 

Also it is prudent that S Corporation owners estimate what they believe their net profit will be for the year so that I might advise them what to tell the payroll service withhold, and so that you can tax plan for accordingly. This will preclude you from the additional responsibility of also having to do quarterly estimated tax payments.

Atlanta CPA Provides Directory of Tax Issues Facing New Georgia Business Owners

Business owners either initially or over time become extremely proficient in their field of choice for it is by this growth of knowledge and wisdom which affords them the insight to make prudent decisions. Each and every hour of a business owner’s day, there are a series of insignificant and important thoughts and directions that directly impact the profitability of a business. Continually you are faced with making a positive impact towards bringing your business closer or further away from your goal. For decades we have focused on helping new business owners get started on “learning the ropes” of all of the tax issues facing their new business. Below is a sample letter I might use to help a business owner correct and address their legal and tax requirements, when filing old past back tax returns, to ensure that adequate books and records are maintained and that all federal and state tax laws are both understood and correctly applied:

This will confirm your advice that:

-No estimated tax payments were made for the 2006 to 2009 tax years to either IRS or GA.

-That you are aware of the need to keep a by day log to support business miles.

-That we went over the rules of being an S Corporation and that you have opted to become effective 1-1-10 and that you are aware there are potential tax savings available that you will forego as you did not agree to the 1-1-09 S Corporation effective date I suggested.

-That you are the sole owner of your LLC for the 2006 to 2009 tax years. Please forward to me a copy of where this transfer of ownership was documented/agreed.

-That you are aware of that there are issues relative to the 2004 tax year that will roll forward to future tax years.

-That you had no substantive itemized expenses for the 2005 to 2008 tax years and that you rented your residence/waived any deduction for these years.

-That you have received and reviewed in detail the year end income tax checklist that is always available on our web site at www.HisCPA.com

-That you are to file as a single taxpayer for the 2005 to 2008 tax years.

-That you should either change your web site and marketing materials to your legal name or look to legally register and trademark your DBA.

-This is to confirm that you are handling all payroll and 1099 issues, your county property tax report for your fixed assets that the business owns (if you have not been getting this report I suggest that you call them and request), sales tax reports, and your business license.

-This is to confirm that you are aware of the need to pay the annual fee with the Secretary of State’s Office to renew your corporation’s annual registration.

-Please be reminded that you are required to keep a by day log to support business miles.

-Please forward me an estimate of what you anticipate the current year’s profits to be so that I might tax plan at least twice annually and that an S Corporation for tax purposes is required to pay a fair and reasonable salary given position and profit.

-It is an honor to serve you. If you know anyone looking for a Good CPA, please let me know or feel free to refer him or her to my web site at www.hiscpa.com.

Atlanta CPA Advises on Whether Your Georgia LLC Should Convert Over to an S Corporation for Tax Purposes

If You Have Just Incorporated in Georgia

Today I both met with a real estate broker and spoke with a distributor who were evaluating on whether or not to convert their LLC over to an S Corporation for tax purposes. For business owners who qualify to be an S Corporation, this is often a prudent and tested technique. To be an S Corporation you have to have a December 31 year-end, have less than an 100 shareholders and all of your owners have to be either U.S. citizens or resident aliens.

Small Business Election: Filing Form 2553

Whether you have just incorporated and you have had an LLC for years. It is prudently evaluate your tax election and to ensure that your entity selection is right for your business. If it is not we can convert your Georgia Business to a  Georgia S Corporation by filing Form 2553: Election by a Small Business Corporation. S Elections have been for decades required to be filed within either seventy-five days of the beginning of a tax year or within 75 days of the incorporation date, if a new corporation. For example, if you are a new business and incorporate on 3-1-09 then you would have 75 days from 3-1-09 to file the S Corporation for it to be timely. Similarly, if you are a C Corporation or an LLC and wish to become an S Corporation for the 2009 tax year then you would have 75 days or until March 15, 2009 to file for a timely election. However if you have missed this deadline the IRS has allowed business owners still to gain a “current” tax entity selection; please be sure to work closely with your CPA to ensure that this is done correctly.

For an LLC that converts to an S Corporation for tax purposes, it remains an LLC for all other issues thus maintaining the advantages initially desired. When an LLC changes over to an S Corporation all active employee/owners are required to take a fair and reasonable salary. The best test of a reasonable salary is what an owner would have to pay someone else to perform their position and it is a function of their position, responsibilities, and the business’s profit. If an LLC converts over to an S Corporation for tax purposes its federal and state income taxes will remain essentially the same. However, an LLC pays FICA & Medicaid taxes on all of its net earnings/earned income whereas an S Corporation will be obligated solely on its salary/W-2 wages.

Gwinnett CPA Advises on Startup Issues Facing New Business Owners: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You 

We frequently received and inquiry of a new business owner exploring their options and how to best address their issues and concerns. To assist in guiding other new entrepreneurs I have included my answers after each corresponding question:

What is the least I need to contract work to others (paper agreement)? One of the most maligned and misunderstood sections of tax law centers around proper classification of a worker as an employee or an independent contractor. The fact that you choose to pay someone as an independent contractor, when you treat them as an employee, will not preclude you from payroll tax or general liability issues. A careful review of the tax law, established guidelines, as well as a fair and just review of your own facts and circumstances will more aptly enable you to follow the rules to the letter of the law and also its spirit. This issues of how you are legally required to pay your workers predominantly centers around how you treat your workers, while centering around the issues of control, risk of loss and behavioral issues. In layman’s terms the more you tell a worker how to do a job, the terms and the conditions the more likely the worker is an employee.

What is the overview to become an LLC? Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) and General Partnerships are all taxed in the same manner. Choosing one of these types as a business entity would be a poor selection for a business such as a print shop, as they will all result in higher taxes with no additional advantages for the printer. We have developed a mindset that if you do not need to be another entity type then you need to be an S Corporation. For example, generally speaking a printer that was an LLC, LLP, or Partnership will pay higher taxes with no additional advantages as opposed to being an S Corporation. A Limited Partnership is also an option that could be explored when certain partners want to limit their liability and exposure. Below are some of the reasons you might want select an LLC or LLP as your entity choice:

If you were a lawyer or physician’s practice then all of the partners’ personal assets are at risk if one partner does something wrong, while if an LLC or an LLP, only the offending partners personal assets would be at risk. This is because of the professional service statutes for these types of professionals, but these rules do not relate to our printer.

If you were a real estate developer and you had a piece of land that had dramatically increased in value, you can transfer that property to an LLC, LLP, or Partnership without having to pay any capital gains tax. Also with these entity types, you can take shareholder distributions that are not based upon ownership, whereas in an S or a C Corporation they have to be. Again, this does not relate to our printer client.

Recently I received an inquiry from my website which is listed below: 

I found your website…love the Christian approach. I’m in need of a Profit and Loss statement from a CPA quickly for a loan modification I’ve applied for. I am a Realtor…and have some minor expenses from my commission checks. I can drum up receipts for the desk fee and website fee, but the rest is minor for gas (lunches with prospects) and one rebate I have not gotten a cashed check back for. They don’t add up to much, and would almost be willing to take them out if you would have to have receipts to prepare?

I need this very quickly or we might lose our loan mod. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. 

Incorporating your business and knowing what is best from Day 1 is what your CPA may be best utilized for to protect you personally, legally mitigate your income taxes and planning for your retirement. Below is my response to the client’s inquiry: 

Thanks for visiting www.HisCPA.com I can certainly help you quickly with your need but would need to talk to you further and to get a copy of your prior personal return in order to gain a good understanding of your business and to advise/quote accordingly. Feel free to give me a call and I will be happy to discuss. 

If you have not yet incorporated might I suggest you review the article on our web-site at http://www.hiscpa.com/article2.html as being an S Corporation might both legally save you taxes as well as limit you personally from corporate liability. 

Also if you have already incorporated your business as an LLC, we can look to convert your business to an S Corporation for tax purposes and potentially also legally limiting your annual tax oblations. 

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Gwinnett CPA on Converting Your Georgia C Corporation or Georgia LLC to an S Corporation

Incorporating in Georgia 

With changes over the last ten plus years in state law, more and more Georgia based businesses are incorporating as an LLC because of the ease of the initial set up of the business entity. However, frequently this may not be the best “tax choice” for the business as an LLC pays FICA and Medicaid taxes on all of its net earnings out of the business, whereas an active S Corporation owner will pay FICA and Medicaid taxes on its W-2. Tax law does require, however, that all S Corporation owners are to take a fair and reasonable salary given position and profit. Though the election is not in the best interest for all business’s as many LLC’s should stay an LLC for both legal and tax purposes, becoming an S Corporation is often a prudent decision for the following types of business: 

-Trade Contractors such as builders, painters, landscapers, electricians, plumbers, etc.

-Retail shops such as boutiques, restaurants, clothing stores, furniture, appliances, video equipment, etc.

-Computer technicians such as contractors, retailers, repairs, programmers, etc.

-Sales Representatives  including residential and commercial real estate agents, brokers, including those of most all types and territories.

-Distribution companies, resellers, wholesalers, and those in the distribution chain of a product of service.

-Service companies including consultants of all  types, single owner physicians, dentists, doctors, chiropractors, etc. 

C Corporations were once much more popular as an entity choice but as consumers and entrepreneurs became more aware and informed, C Corporations are much less pursued as a viable option as business owners sought to legally avoid the “double taxation” exposure of C Corporations as they are taxed first at the corporate level and then again at the personal level when monies are paid out of the corporation to the companies’ respective owners. 

How S Corporations are Taxed 

There is no income tax paid by as S Corporation when the annual tax return is filed to the IRS. However, as a part of the corporate return which is prepared, a Form 1120S, there is an attached schedule which shows each owners respective ownership percentage and via a Form K-1 for which each shareholder should reflect on their personal return. K-1 profits, losses, and shareholder distributions are all required by tax law to be issued based upon the each shareholders ownership percentage. In order for losses to be deductible a shareholder has to have a positive tax basis, which is a component of past profits, losses, and loans to and from the business. If a shareholder has no basis to cover losses reported on a K-1, they are by tax law considered to be “suspended losses” and can be rolled forward to future years when the shareholder has positive basis, which can be created by future years profits or the shareholder loaning money to the business. 

An owner should report the K-1 profit, which is based upon their share of the business and not the amount of their shareholder distributions. This is a common misnomer about S Corporations and often leads to confusion for the new business owner. To that end it is best to remember that you pay taxes on the profits when you make them and not when you take them. For example generally speaking if your business nets $100,000 and you are the sole owner, you will pay taxes on $100,0000 whether you take zero dollar of shareholder distributions, a $100,000 or any number in between. Thus if you were to have a $100,000 profit in any given year and take no distributions then you would be able, absent any other issues, to take shareholder distributions in subsequent years with no additional tax responsibility as these monies would have already been taxed.

The rules of being an S Corporation are only four and many businesses will qualify. To be an S Corporation you must have:

• Have a December 31st year-end.
• Have less than 100 shareholders.
• Shareholders have to be U.S. citizens or resident aliens.
• Only one class of stock

 For LLC’s that change from an LLC for legal purposes to an S Corporation for tax purposes, the LLC remains an LLC with the Georgia Secretary of State along with all other legal purposes. Thus, your LLC makes solely a tax election which affects none of the other contracts, licenses, trademarks, legal filings, and legal obligations of the LLC.

We are here to serve you as you make this important decision. Over the decades we have helped thousands pursue the dream of owning their own business and helping them understand and utilize the entity choice that is best-suited for their business. 

Incorporating in Georgia 

Incorporating in Georgia requires that you file for the company Articles of Incorporation with the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office. Corporations should also be sure to prepare a legal posting/announcement for the legally authorized newspaper in the county’s paper, establishing bylaws, election a Board of Directors, Officers and the issuance of stock. 

Georgia Entity Requirements

Selecting a Name for your Georgia Business

Establishment of an Incorporator

Corporate Directors 

When getting your new Georgia business started there are many details to be sure that you address the many and varied new responsibilities to ensure that you have no undue surprises in the establishment of your new business. Below is a sample letter one might use to ensure that all new business details are addressed for your new Georgia Corporation.                

This is to confirm that we went over the rules of being an S Corporation and that you have opted to become same. You are aware of the need to have an annual Board of Directors, Officers, and Shareholder’s Minutes meetings and that each year you should pay the annual fee with the Secretary of State’s Office to renew your corporations annual registration.

Please be aware that you need to get a business license and always list your corporate title when signing any agreement and conduct all corporate business in the corporate name.  

In your corporate book you will find several forms:Employee forms – W-4, G-4, and I-9 and independent contractor forms W-9. After they complete these forms, you should keep these in their permanent files. There is also information on the Georgia New Hire Reporting Act and forms relative to that information. You are aware of the need to pay a reasonable salary and that you are going to retain a payroll service for your entire payroll and 1099 needs. Please be reminded that as long as you pay yourself a reasonable salary, you may also pay yourself shareholder distributions, which are devoid of FICA and Medicaid taxes.  Per your advice you will not be required to file sales tax reports. 

The following are recommendations to better manage your business:Turn in a monthly expense report to the business and keep a daily log to track and support business miles.

I suggest we tax plan twice every year.  Your corporate returns are due March 15^th of each year.

You will need to trademark your business name to ensure that the name will always be yours. 

Please forward a copy of your last year personal return along with a copy of the S Corporation acceptance, when it is received.
