A Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary (Q-Sub) is an S-Corp that is 100% owned by a parent S-Corp. Both the parent entity and the Q-Sub can be a corporation or an LLC. Parent S-Corps can own more than one Q-Sub, but they must make the election for each Q-Sub by filling out Form 8869 on the IRS website.
You must File Form 8869 with the service center where the subsidiary filed its most recent return. If the parent S corporation forms a subsidiary, and makes a valid election effective upon formation, submit Form 8869 to the service center where the parent S corporation filed its most recent return.
A parent S corporation uses Form 8869 to elect to treat one or more of its eligible subsidiaries as a qualified subchapter S subsidiary (QSub). The QSub election results in a deemed liquidation of the subsidiary into the parent.
All of the QSubs activities are reported on the parent S corporations return. If a QSub is doing business in California, then the parent S corporation is considered doing business in the state and must file Form 100S (California S Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return).
