Go to the irs.gov website and use the search box for S CorporationsS corporations are corporations that elect to pass corporate income, losses, deductions and credit through to their shareholders for federal tax purposes. Shareholders of S corporations report the flow-through of income and losses on their personal tax returns and are assessed tax at their individual income tax rates. This allows S corporations to avoid double taxation on the corporate income. S corporations are responsible for tax on certain built-in gains and passive income.

To qualify for S corporation status, the corporation must meet the following requirements:

  • Be a domestic corporation

  • Have only allowable shareholders

    • including individuals, certain trust, and estates and

    • may not include partnerships, corporations or non-resident alien shareholders

  • Have no more than 100 shareholders

  • Have one class of stock

  • Not be an ineligible corporation i.e. certain financial institutions, insurance companies, and domestic international sales corporations.

In order to become an S corporation, the corporation must submit Form 2553 Election by a Small Business Corporation (PDF) signed by all the shareholders.

Are Roth IRA's subject to minimum required distributions?

No. Because you contribute after-tax dollars, you have already paid taxes on the money and there is really no reason that the government would want to mandate distributions. On traditional IRAs, required minimum distributions begin at age 70 1/2 for the rest of your life. Because you invested pre-tax, the government doesn't get their cut until you make distributions. Thus, if you haven't done this by 70 1/2, you are forced to begin taking out a certain percentage.
