Should you elect S-corp?

What an S-corp election does, when it tends to make sense, and the deadline to keep in mind.

Should you elect S-corp?

An LLC can elect to be taxed as an S-corporation, which can reduce self-employment tax once your profit is high enough — but it also requires running payroll for yourself and filing a separate return. You make the election by filing a form, and timing matters (there's an early-year deadline).

Education, not tax advice

Whether an S-corp is right for you depends on your numbers. Your Uplinq tax team can run the analysis.
