FAQ

Questions, answered

When is Form 1120-S due?+

March 15 for calendar-year filers (2.5 months after fiscal year-end). Late filings trigger $245/month per shareholder.

Do K-1s really have to go out by March 15?+

Yes. K-1s late = every shareholder cannot file their personal return on time. Cascade penalties make K-1 deadlines load-bearing.

What is the S-Corp salary requirement?+

Owner-employees must take a reasonable W-2 salary before distributions. We surface IRS guidance on what counts as reasonable for your industry.

Can I file 1120-S without 2553?+

No. You must have elected S-Corp status via Form 2553 (or 8832 + 2553) before filing 1120-S. If you never filed 2553, you are taxed as C-Corp.
