What Is an S-Corporation?

An S-Corporation is a tax status you can elect for your LLC or Corporation (Inc.) with the IRS. It lets your business avoid double taxation and can help owners save on self-employment taxes.

This is not a new type of business entity — it's a way your existing LLC or Corporation is taxed.

Why Trucking Companies Choose S-Corp Status

  • Save on self-employment taxes by paying yourself a salary
  • Avoid double taxation that comes with C-Corporations
  • Still enjoy liability protection of an LLC or Corporation
  • Be audit-ready and more attractive to lenders and investors
  • Simplify tax reporting as your company grows

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Can both LLCs and Corporations elect S-Corp status?
    Yes. Both LLCs and C-Corporations can file for S-Corp tax treatment, if they meet IRS eligibility rules.
  2. Is an S-Corp a new company?
    No. It’s a tax election, not a business entity. Your LLC or Corporation stays the same, just taxed differently.
  3. Can I file for S-Corp after forming my business?
    Yes. You have up to 75 days after forming to file retroactively, or you can elect it going forward.
  4. What if I don’t have an EIN yet?
    No problem — we’ll help you get one from the IRS before submitting your S-Corp election.
  5. Do S-Corps require payroll?
    Yes. If you’re an owner actively working in the business, the IRS expects you to pay yourself a reasonable salary.
  6. Is S-Corp right for my trucking company?
    It depends on your profits and setup. Many trucking businesses with net earnings over $40K benefit from S-Corp status.
