Atlanta CPA on Should You Convert Your New Georgia LLC to an S Corporation for Tax Return Preparation Purposes

Tax law has long allowed an LLC to legally convert over to an S Corporation for tax purposes. Although being an LLC offers some flexibility (no Board of Directors/ease of formation), being an LLC will typically result in many businesses paying an higher tax bill on its earned income as all of an LLC’s net income are subject to FICA and Medicaid taxes.

For an LLC converts to an S Corporation for tax purposes, it stays an LLC for all other issues, such as contracting, licensing and with the Secretary of State,  thus maintaining the advantages initially desired. When a business converts over to an S Corporation all active employee/owners are required to take a fair and reasonable salary, given position and profit. 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. When an LLC converts over to an S Corporation for tax purposes its federal and state income taxes will remain essentially the same. An LLC pays FICA & Medicaid taxes on all of its net earnings/earned income whereas an S Corporation will be obligated solely on its reasonable salary or an owner’s W-2 wages.

The IRS has long had an established system for converting an LLC legally over to an S Corporation for tax purposes for which we are intimately familiar. Each and every tax situation is unique and I would welcome meeting with you to discuss.
