What Is A Subchapter-S Corporation (S-Corp) And Do I Need It?

What Is An Subchapter-S Corporation (S-Corp) And Do I Need It?

Oftentimes, I have clients come to me asking for an S-Corp, not knowing what this really means.

An S-Corp is not a different form of corporation, but rather a special tax treatment of one or more standard Texas corporations. The incorporation with the Texas Secretary of State actually has nothing to do with the S-Corp status.


After the business has been incorporated, an election must be made with the IRS to treat the corporation as a Sub S-Corp. This means its income or losses are not taxed to the corporation, but they directly flow through to the shareholders.

The wisdom of election to have your corporation treated as an S-Corp is a tax accounting issue you should discuss with your CPA. There are pros and cons depending on your personal tax situation.

If you are considering incorporating and want more information about the S-Corp election, contact Adair M. Buckner to request a free initial consultation*.

It was way past time to finally get our Wills completed. This was something that was extremely complicated for us, but Adair and her assistant never made us feel like we were bothering them...and we (I) bothered them...a lot! Things were explained to us in a way that we could understand easily. Extremely professional and knows her stuff!

This was as painless as it gets to hire an attorney in Amarillo Texas. Handled all the estate needs and never had to appear in court. You won't find any better and I use Attorneys quite often in my line of work.
