Strategic entity selection and EIN registration for new businesses. We analyze whether an LLC or S-Corporation is best for your specific tax situation before you file.
Your business entity structure dictates your legal liability, your ability to raise capital, and most importantly, how you are taxed. While a Sole Proprietorship offers simplicity, it lacks asset protection. An LLC provides legal shielding, while an S-Corporation election can save business owners thousands in self-employment taxes. Choosing the wrong structure can lead to overpaying taxes or exposing personal assets to lawsuits.
We don't just file forms; we run the numbers. We project your revenue and expenses to determine which structure offers the best balance of legal protection and tax minimization. We answer the "LLC vs. S-Corp" question with math, not guesses.
The most popular choice for small businesses. We handle the state filing of your Articles of Organization, obtain your EIN (Federal Tax ID), and advise on the necessary Operating Agreements to ensure your personal assets are truly protected.
For profitable businesses, an S-Corp election is a powerful tax-saving tool. We help you elect "S-Status" with the IRS (Form 2553) to split your income between salary and distributions, potentially saving you 15.3% in taxes on a portion of your income.
Planning to raise venture capital or start a charity? We assist with C-Corp formation (essential for issuing stock) and non-profit setup, guiding you through the complex governance requirements these entities demand.
LegalZoom can file a form, but they can't tell you if it's the right form.
Generic filing services offer a "one-size-fits-all" approach that often leaves business owners with the wrong tax classification. At JK Tax Service, we approach formation from a tax-first perspective. We ensure your fiscal year, accounting method, and state registrations are set up correctly from the start, saving you from costly "cleanup" work later.
Get Started
You should generally consider an LLC as soon as you have business risks (liability) or start earning significant revenue. An LLC separates your personal assets (house, car) from your business liabilities, ensuring that a business lawsuit doesn't bankrupt you personally.
Yes, business structures can evolve. A common strategy is to start as an LLC for simplicity, and then make an S-Corp Election once your net profit exceeds roughly $60,000–$80,000, where the tax savings begin to outweigh the administrative costs.
A Registered Agent is a person or entity designated to receive official legal and government correspondence (like service of process) on behalf of your business. Most states require you to list a Registered Agent located within the state upon formation.
Timeline varies by state. In many states, online filing is processed within 24 to 48 hours. Obtaining your EIN from the IRS is usually immediate. We handle this entire workflow to get you up and running as fast as possible.
