What's an S Corp? Lower your taxes and save money

Without an S Corp, you’re overpaying your taxes

As a business-of-one, by default your self-employment taxes–which covers things like Social Security and Medicare–are twice what they would be as a W2 employee.

Unlock tax savings with an S Corp

An S Corp is a tax classification that lets you be both the owner of your company and its sole employee. This means you pay yourself a salary as an employee, and also collect profit as an owner. Those profits aren’t subject to self-employment tax, saving you thousands.

Who is an S Corp for?

	You are a business-of-one in the US.
	You are committed to working for yourself.
	You make at least $60,000 a year.

Lower your taxes. Maximize your profits.

If you’re a business-of-one making over $100k, you could be overpaying your taxes by as much as $10,000.

What is the difference between S Corp, LLC, Sole Proprietorship?

Sole proprietorship is the default mode of many businesses-of-one. If you do nothing to officially set up your business with your state of operation, you file as a sole proprietor by default. Sole proprietorship is easy to maintain, but offers no liability protection or tax benefits.

An LLC takes some effort to set up and has some compliance requirements, and also offers you liability protection if you correctly separate your personal and business finances.

An S Corp is a tax status that you file with the IRS. It allows you to significantly reduce your self employment taxes (saving thousands), and also has some complex compliance requirements. Lettuce takes care of all of this for you. To learn more, read our blog posts on the differences between sole proprietorships and LLCs, and on the benefits of S Corps.
