Prioritizing Business Formation Tax Considerations
You must discuss and agree on tax treatment when structuring a new business or entering into a:
- Partnership
- LLC agreement
- Shareholder’s agreement
Most small businesses will choose treatment as a disregarded entity either by choosing a single member LLC or making an S-election. These decisions require thoughtful and thorough consideration to ensure you will not be surprised by phantom income or treatment as a C-corporation because of a failed S-election.
Informed Guidance Throughout Other Tax Matters
Similarly, when initiating a transaction, such as a merger or acquisition, or the sale of an ownership interest to another individual or company, the business needs to consider the tax effect of the transaction prior to consummation. The rules relating to an S-election may be prohibitive to the transaction you are considering and will cause the S-election to fail.
