How do I know when my S-Corp has to pay taxes, and what do I need to fill out?


Rushabh Shah

CPA and Chartered Accountant

As an S-Corp in the US, your tax obligations and filing requirements are slightly different from those of a C-Corp. Here's an overview of when and how an S-Corp pays taxes and the forms you may need to fill out: 1) If your S-Corp is expected to have a tax liability of $500 or more for the year, you may need to make estimated tax payments on behalf of the shareholders. 2)As an S-Corp, your company itself does not pay federal income taxes. The shareholders are then responsible for paying taxes on their share of the S-Corp income. 3)Despite not paying federal income taxes directly, an S-Corp is still required to file an annual tax return using Form 1120S, U.S. Income Tax Return for an S Corporation.

If a C Corp just launched a few months ago with a Dec year end, do they pay federal tax payments now or do they wait a year?


Rushabh Shah

CPA and Chartered Accountant

If your C Corp in US just launched a few months ago with a Dec year end, you would generally need to start making estimated federal tax payments on a quarterly basis. Estimated tax payments for a C Corp are typically due on the 15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th months of the corporation's tax year. These estimated tax payments are based on the projected taxable income of the corporation for the current tax year. It's important to estimate your tax liability accurately to avoid underpayment of penalties.
