For business owners
What I Wish Business Owners Knew Before Making the S Election
When the election helps, when it doesn't, and what it takes once you've made it.
We're inviting a small group of CPAs, EAs and tax professionals who advise business owners on the S election to spend an afternoon with us. We'll talk about what you're seeing with clients and how you decide when the election makes sense. Afterward, we'll turn the conversation into three short guides. Credit is up to you, and you'll approve everything before it's published.
5 to 10 membersBy invitation only
One afternoon, onlineThree hours on December 1
Three guidesWritten from the session. Credit is optional.
Plenty of owners now walk into their accountant's office already sure the S election will save them money. Often they haven't thought about payroll, state taxes, or what a reasonable salary means for them. The accountants who sort this out with clients every day are mostly missing from the public conversation, and we'd like to change that.
We'll talk about what you're seeing, when you bring up the S election with a client, and how you work out whether it's worth it. Near the end, we'll show you WageProof's reasonable compensation method and ask what you'd change.
