How to Save Money with the Formation of an S-Corporation in Nevada

After the expiration of the Bush taxes, additional taxes added from the healthcare laws to the business industry in the form of Affordable Care Act and Patient Protection, or more commonly referred to as the ObamaCare. This meant that many businesses big or small in Nevada or in any state are subject to more taxes since new laws formulated.

Fortunately enough, you can cut down on the taxes in many ways in Nevada in particular. One of the more effective ways is to lower your taxes by electing your corporation to form an S-corporation in Nevada. This can save business owners a substantial amount of money, as many as thousands of dollars per annum, in income taxes and payrolls. The process to form a Nevada S-corporation is as simple as filling the three forms mentioned below:

1.     Articles of Incorporation

Prior to filling in your first form, you need to make a choice between a Limited Liability Company (LLC) and a regular corporation to serve as the base of your profitable S-corporation. Most companies choose an LLC because they are easier to maintain but they require more paperwork on the other hand. It’s totally up to you to decide it.

Later on, as you have chosen the base of your S-corporation, you are required to fill in the form for Articles of Organization for the required type. The form is easily available from the Secretary of State’s website. Submit your finished form to the Office of Secretary of State in Carson City.

2.     SS-4 Form for EIN or Employer Identification Number

3.     2553 Form for Election
