Create Your S-Corp With Confidence

Yes, ZenBusiness can help with S corp elections for LLCs, but not for a C corporation. The process includes selecting the S corporation option during formation, and ZenBusiness will handle the necessary paperwork.

To file as an S corporation with ZenBusiness, you first need to form an LLC. Once your business is formed, you can elect S corporation status for tax purposes by filing IRS Form 2553. We’ll handle this process by helping you complete the required form for the IRS.

The cost depends on the state and package selected. The Pro plan includes business filing, rush filing speed, free accounting consultation, operating agreement or bylaws, an EIN, and annual worry-free compliance service, costing $199 annually plus one-time state filing fees.

Yes, but it’s not a simple process. ZenBusiness can assist, but there is a $200 service fee if done after 30 days of LLC formation.

No, all members of the LLC must be U.S. citizens or residents to qualify for S corporation status.

Yes, your company will still remain an LLC business structure, but it can be taxed as an S corp. ZenBusiness can assist, though it involves a $200 service fee if done after 30 days of LLC formation. The customer must sign and mail the S corporation election form to the IRS. This service is only available to LLCs formed with ZenBusiness.

If your LLC is past the 75-day election deadline, you’ll also need to file Form 8832, Entity Classification Election, to elect to be taxed as a corporation. Then you would file both Form 8832 and Form 2553 together via USPS-certified mail.

To change your LLC to an S corporation with ZenBusiness, you can elect S corp status by filing IRS Form 2553. We simplify this process by helping you complete the form for the IRS, allowing your LLC to be taxed as an S corp while keeping the LLC structure. This can provide tax benefits, such as avoiding double taxation, without altering the legal protections of your LLC. As stated above, this service is only available to LLCs formed with ZenBusiness. Also, if more than 30 days have passed since the LLC formation, we charge a $200 service fee for this.

The process for filing an S corp involves preparing and submitting Form 2553 to the IRS, which requires a wet signature. ZenBusiness can prepare the form, but the customer must sign and mail it to the IRS.

ZenBusiness currently does not support changing a C corporation to an S corporation. However, you can consult with a tax professional or legal expert to guide you through the process of filing IRS Form 2553 to elect S corp status for your C corp. This election allows for pass-through taxation, but it must be handled directly through the IRS.
