Tax structure planning

When S-Corp election makes sense for sellers

An S-Corporation election (IRS Form 2553) lets a qualifying LLC or corporation be taxed as an S-Corp — profits pass through to owners while potentially reducing self-employment tax by splitting income between reasonable salary and distributions.

This is a tax strategy decision, not a default upgrade. S-Corp status requires payroll, additional filings, and IRS deadlines. Consult your tax advisor, then submit a request — our support team will review eligibility and contact you with scope and pricing.

Guide

S-Corp vs. default LLC taxation for sellers

By default, a single-member LLC is taxed as a sole proprietorship and a multi-member LLC as a partnership. All net profit may be subject to self-employment tax. S-Corp election allows paying yourself a reasonable W-2 salary with remaining profit taken as distributions — potentially reducing self-employment tax on the distribution portion.

The trade-off is payroll processing, Form 1120-S filing, and IRS scrutiny on reasonable compensation. For early-stage Amazon sellers with thin margins, default LLC taxation is often simpler and cheaper.

Frequently asked questions

Should every profitable Amazon seller elect S-Corp?

No. Election adds payroll and filing complexity. Benefit depends on profit level, owner residency, and advisor analysis. Our support team helps coordinate filing when your strategy is confirmed.

Can non-US residents elect S-Corp?

Shareholder eligibility has restrictions — non-resident aliens generally cannot be S-Corp shareholders. We review ownership during consultation.

Why is pricing not on the website?

Scope depends on entity type, timing, and whether payroll setup is included. Your consultation enables accurate quoting.
