FAQ
At what income does the S-corp election pay off?
Typically once profit comfortably clears $40–50K — the payroll-tax savings then beat the added payroll and 1120-S costs. We model your exact number before recommending it.
I missed two quarterly payments. Filing-time disaster?
No — an underpayment penalty accrues but it's modest and calculable. We compute it, minimize it via the annualized method if your income was lumpy, and reset the schedule.
