Thinking of starting a new business? What kind of business entity selection is best for you?
Below I will list the Pros and Cons of each business entity selection:
C-Corp
Pros:
- Offers the most shareholder liability protection
- All debts, expenses, tax liabilities are completely separate from shareholders
- Used for business with more than 100 shareholders
- Ability to issue multiple classes of stock
- Ability to off company public offerings and obtain venture capital for growth
Cons:
- Requires regular board of directors' meetings, detailed documentation,
- Form 940 Quarterly tax filings, form 941 annual tax filings and form 1120 annual tax filings are required
- Shareholders must file separate income tax returns which leads to double taxation
- The company is taxed at the corporate tax rate
S-Corp
Pros:
- Shareholder liability protection is similar to C-Corp
- Pass -through entity so avoids the possibility of double taxation
- All debts, expenses, tax liabilities are flowed through to shareholders personal tax return therefore the tax rate is the personal income rate rather than the corporate tax rate.
- Shareholders are not subject to self-employment tax reinvested in the company. They are only subject to self employment tax on wages received by the company
Cons:
- Requires a board of directors and company officers
- Form 1120 is filed annually even though the tax liability is calculated from the shareholder personal tax return
- Must Elect C-Corp initially at Company formation and later complete IRS Form 2553
- This entity selection can only be used for up to 100 Shareholders

- No board of directors required
Cons:
- Does not provide as much shareholder liability protection as C-Corp or S-Corps do
- Members are personally responsible for debts incurred by the business

- LLCs are considered higher risk borrowers by lenders
- Shareholders are subject to self-employment tax
Tax Tips
- Its not too early to review your withholding for your 2026 tax return
- Check the status of your refund at : Where’s my Refund
- If your refund is delayed, it could be for one of the following reasons: claiming the additional child tax credit, failing to include bank account information Filing an amended return Requesting injured spouse relief
- Taxpayers who need assistance paying their tax debt can use one of these options: Online payment plan, offer in compromise, Request a temporary delay in collection, request penalty relief
- If you filed an extension, your new tax return deadline is October 15th, 2026. Please keep in mind that even if you filed an extension, penalties and interest will accrue from April 15th, 2026, to the date paid in full.
- Be Aware of "Ghost Preparers" who will file your return without providing a PTIN ( Preparer Tax Identification Number) provided by the IRS or neglecting to sign your tax return. When in doubt all tax preparer identification numbers can be found at RPO Preparer Directory
