Who pays more taxes, an LLC or S Corp? Typically, an LLC taxed as a sole proprietorship pays more taxes and S Corp tax status means paying less in taxes. By default, an LLC pays taxes as a sole proprietorship, which includes self-employment tax on your total profits.
Because of the one-class-of-stock restriction, an S corporation cannot allocate losses or income to specific shareholders. Allocation of income and loss is governed by stock ownership, unlike partnerships or LLCs taxed as partnerships, where the allocation can be set in the partnership agreement or operating agreement.
Rule of thumb: If you are making less than $40-$50K per year, stick with standard LLC. Above that, S-Corp will probably save you a little on payroll taxes, since you can pay yourself a W2 income AND take distributions which arent subject to payroll taxes.
While every business owner should decide which business structure is right for them based on their business needs and business plan, for most small businesses just starting, it is better to choose an LLC instead of an S corporation.
