Entity choice
Northline Tax Advisors PLLC advises on entity choice, including whether an S corporation election fits, for owners in Seattle, Washington.
A written comparison of how the business is taxed now and how it would be taxed as an LLC, an S corporation or a partnership.
What this covers
How a business is organized decides which return it files, which dates apply and how its owners are paid. Changing the structure can lower the tax bill, and it can also add payroll, a second return and new deadlines.
We model your numbers under each option and write down the result, including the costs that come with it. You decide with the full picture.
How it works
- A review of the last two returns and this year's profit
- A side-by-side model of the options that apply
- A written summary and a call to go through it
- If you change structure, the elections and filings, with the new dates added to your calendar
Questions owners ask
When does an S corporation election make sense?
It depends on profit, owner pay and state rules. We run the numbers for your business before recommending anything, and sometimes the answer is to stay as you are.
