HOW IT WORKS

Don't Just Set up an S-Corp, Maximize Its Potential

For most business owners, it makes sense to consider becoming an S-Corp so that you can reduce your self employment taxes and enjoy some other benefits.

S-Corps often help businesses owners lower their social security and medicare taxes while also providing the benefits of an LLC. There are rules and bureaucracy you have to consider when converting to an S-Corp, but we make it easy!

Net Profits are First Subject to Self Employment Tax

First, you need to understand that your net profits will be subject to self employment taxes, and then they will pass-through to your personal tax return, where you'll pay state and federal income tax. S-Corps only help mitigate the self employment taxes, not income taxes.

15.3% Self Employment Taxes

Self employed business owners pay medicare and social security on their net profits. Together, they are often referred as "self-employment tax" or "SE Tax".

12.4% Social Security Taxes

The largest portion of the self employment tax is Social Security Taxes. You'll owe 12.4% social security taxes on your income up to the social security limit. The limit increases each year, but it is $160,200 for 2023.

This tax funds your social security benefits in retirement, so it's important to note how reducing it will affect retirement income.

2.9% Medicare Taxes

All income is subject to medicare tax, and at higher income levels, the tax will actually increase.
