Tax in Action: Practical Strategies for Tax Pros

Breaking Up with Your S-Corp Part 2


Listen Later

Jeremy wraps up his two-part series on S corporation terminations by diving into what happens after an election ends, whether intentional or inadvertent. He explains the IRS's relief procedures for common mistakes like violating the one-class-of-stock rule, the crucial five-year waiting period before re-electing, and why a terminated S corp doesn't just revert back to an LLC but becomes a C corporation instead. The discussion includes real tax court cases and the specific steps needed to clean up termination issues before the IRS discovers them.
