FAQ's

What tax returns does an S-Corporation need to file in the Bay Area?

An S-Corporation generally files federal Form 1120-S to report its income, deductions, and other tax information. S-Corporations doing business in California typically also file Form 100S and pay applicable state franchise taxes. FinloTax helps businesses prepare S-Corporation tax returns and meet their federal and California filing requirements.

When is the S-Corp tax filing deadline?

For calendar-year S-Corporations, federal Form 1120-S is generally due March 15, with adjustments when the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday. California Form 100S generally follows the same filing deadline. An extension may provide additional time to file, but it does not extend the deadline for paying taxes owed. FinloTax helps S-Corporation owners manage filing deadlines and extension requirements.

Does an S-Corporation have to pay California franchise tax?

Yes. California S-Corporations generally pay a franchise tax of 1.5% of net income, subject to an \$800 minimum tax. Certain newly incorporated or newly qualified corporations may qualify for a first-year minimum franchise tax exemption. FinloTax helps S-Corporation owners calculate their California tax obligations and prepare the required filings.

Can S-Corporation owners take distributions instead of a salary?

Shareholder-employees who provide services to an S-Corporation generally must receive reasonable compensation through payroll before taking non-wage distributions. Distributions may have different tax treatment from wages, but they must be properly recorded and supported by the shareholder's stock basis and other applicable tax rules. FinloTax provides S-Corp tax services that include reviewing shareholder compensation, distributions, and payroll reporting.
