With so many years as a business owner, Stephanie could understand that running a business does not only mean taking care of her customers and marketing her business. It also involves managing her finances, maintaining the company’s books, filing taxes, and making sure that the business is compliant with regulations. A smart and resourceful woman, Stephanie was doing her own bookkeeping and filing her taxes as a Sole Proprietor for the last 7 years. All this time, she knew that filing as an S-corporation would give her an advantage in keeping more money in her pocket. However, she was not sure how to manage an S-corporation.

• Keeping my business compliant with the IRS
• Bookkeeping
• Processing payroll
• Monthly reconciliation of finances
• Full customer support and access to experts any time with my bookkeeping, taxes, and accounting

Getting Onboard with Formations

“I had hired a company to open an S-corporation on my behalf, but I wasn’t even sure where they left off. Formations completed the S-election, cleaned everything up, and, while working on my 2019 tax return, identified an opportunity to file a late S-election for the 2019 tax year. That resulted in a $14K tax savings for the prior year! I knew I could save a lot by choosing to be taxed as an S-Corporation, but I couldn’t imagine that it would make such a big difference!

Formations helped me get my books in order for 2020, making sure that my S-corporation is in full compliance. They also took over the responsibility for managing my books and processing payroll and quarterly filings. Now I can fully concentrate on what I do best: real estate because I’m ”SheKnowsRealEstate.com.”
