FAQ

S-Corp Accountants & CPAs in California

What is 'reasonable compensation' for an S-Corp owner?

The IRS requires owner-employees to take a salary comparable to what they'd pay an outside hire for the same role. An S-Corp accountant benchmarks this and documents the analysis.

When is the S-Corp tax return due?

Form 1120-S is due March 15 each year, with a six-month extension available. K-1s must be issued to shareholders by the same deadline.
