What You Should Know About S Corps, Part 2
December 12, 2019 by OSYB Staff

Now that you know more about S corp status, here are some of the disadvantages of declaring S corp status as there are stringent requirements:
- shareholder pool is significantly lowered
- can’t have more than 100 shareholders
- shareholders must be US citizens, residents, or resident
- shareholders cannot be other partnerships or corporations.
Non-compliance with these requirements can lead to serious repercussions:
- S corp status immediately revoked by IRS
- three years of back-taxes from the IRS
- loss of S corp status means reapplication for S status is on hold for another five years
- because income is paid based at the individual level on personal tax returns, shareholders in a higher tax bracket will pay more in taxes
