Nevada LLC Taxes

NEVADA LLC TAXES

A limited-liability company is a form of business entity, often considered to be a private limited company. It provides businesses with numerous benefits including limited liability, flexible management structure and no double taxation on LLC distributions. The working of an LLC in the “Silver State” is governed by the Nevada Revised Statutes and this includes annual requirements and Nevada LLC tax.

Introduction – Nevada LLC Taxes

Nevada is a popular state for business because it has virtually no “state level” Nevada LLC tax. Some of the taxes not applicable to business entities include:

  • Corporate income tax
  • Franchise tax on income
  • Personal income tax
  • Unitary tax
  • Admissions tax
  • Gift tax or estate tax

Of course, there are certain taxes that your limited-liability company may have to file in Nevada. When we talk of federal income tax, an LLC is treated as a pass-through entity. Does it mean such entities are not required to file Nevada business income tax? Yes, it does and for that we need to identify what a pass-through entity really is for tax purposes.

A pass-through entity is basically a type of business structure where the primary goal is to reduce or remove double taxation. A pass-through entity will not be required to file Nevada LLC tax at the corporate level and instead the tax will have to be filed by an individual or owners of an LLC. Thus, the income generated by a limited liability company will be taxed at an individual tax rate.

Here’s an example to help you understand how it works: A Nevada LLC named “DEF” will be a pass-through entity. When this business has to file a tax return then the Nevada LLC tax rate will be as follows:

Revenues – $2,000,000

Expenses – $1,000,000

Earnings Before Interest & Taxes (EBIT) – $500,000

Interest Paid – $200,000

Earnings Before Taxes (EBT) – $300,000

Taxes – $0

Net Income Available to Owners – $300,000

DEF has two owners named Martha and Josh and each of their ownership in the LLC is 50 percent. The LLC will send an IRS Schedule K-1 to both Martha and Josh and this schedule will report their portion of the pass-through income. So, Martha and Josh will file a Nevada LLC tax return with $150,000 as their incomes.

General Information about the Nevada LLC Taxes

Although a limited-liability company is a pass-through tax entity there are other unique aspects of Nevada business income tax as well. LLC is a type of business entity that enjoys the flexibility to choose the tax treatment it wants. It can choose to be taxed as any one of the following:

  • A Nevada LLC can elect to be taxed as an S Corporation. It will require Form 8832 and Form 2553 for the same.
  • It can choose to be taxed as a C Corporation as well using Form 8832.
  • Nevada LLC tax rate can also be defined by it choosing to be taxed as a Sole-Proprietorship and this is possible only for a single member LLC or a disregarded entity.

If a Nevada LLC chooses any of the above tax designations then it will not be able to change the tax treatment for a period of five years. There are finer aspects of Nevada LLC tax that business entities planning to register in the state need to be aware of. Some of them include:

  • If an LLC operates its business in Nevada then it will not be subject to any corporate or individual income tax but if it operates outside the state then it will be subjected to a tax treatment specific to the state it is operating in. Example: If you form an LLC in Nevada and operate your business in Nevada and New York then your business will have to file taxes in New York.
  • Nevada LLC tax has to be filed annually and this can only be filed after you register your business entity with the Secretary of State (SOS)
  • The Nevada LLC tax rate and amount to be filed will depend on the level of business activity and earnings.
  • It is also important to know that if your Nevada LLC has employees and reports gross wages to the Nevada Employment Security Division (ESD) then your limited-liability company will be subjected to modified business tax (MBT). The MBT is a type of Nevada business income tax and came into effect on July 1, 2015 through Senate Bill No. 483. MBT has to be paid to the Department of Taxation.
  • Apart from the modified business tax, Nevada now imposes Commerce Tax on gross revenue pursuant to Nevada Administrative Code, NAC 363C. This tax has to be paid to the Nevada Department of Taxation.
  • If you are a domestic business entity in Nevada but are pursuing business activity in another state then you will be treated as a foreign entity in that state and may be required to file franchise taxes. However, your LLC will not be required to pay any Nevada LLC tax like inventory or franchise taxes in the state.

Federal Taxes for your Nevada LLC

A limited liability company (LLC) in Nevada with a default tax election means such an LLC is not considered as a tax paying entity but as a tax reporting entity by the IRS. The federal Nevada LLC tax by the Internal Revenue Service can be defined according to the number of LLC Members.

If you form a single-member limited liability company that has not been elected for treatment as a corporation, then such an LLC will be known as a “disregarded entity” for Nevada LLC tax purposes. The activities of such an LLC will be reflected on the owner’s federal tax return.

The Nevada business income tax will depend on the owner of the LLC. The activities of such LLC’s will be reflected according to the owner as:

  • If it is a single owner LLC where the owner is an individual then the Nevada LLC tax rate would be like that of a Sole Proprietorship. The individual would have to file Form 1040 Schedule C, Form 1040 Schedule E, or Form 1040 Schedule F.
  • If the owner of an LLC is another business entity like a corporation or a partnership then the Nevada LLC needs to be reflected on the federal tax return of the owner as a division of business entity (corporation or partnership).

It is important to note that a single member LLC or disregarded entity will be required to use the owner’s social security number (SSN) or employer identification number (EIN) for all federal income tax or Nevada LLC tax purposes.

Nevada State Business License for LLC

The Nevada state business license is an important aspect of Nevada LLC tax as without this license, an LLC will not become operational in the state. The business license is an annual requirement and you can apply for it along with the Articles of Organization. The business license has to be renewed each year when filing LLC annual list.

Nevada State Business Income Tax

Nevada has one of the most competitive business tax climates because there are no corporate income taxes, margin tax, or gross receipts tax. Hence, the state avoids heavy tax burdens that impair business activities and growth. The Nevada business income tax that an LLC has to file is known as the Modified Business Tax (MBT). The primary advantage of the MBT is ease of compliance and simplicity.

The Nevada Modified Business Tax (MBT) is basically a payroll tax that is levied on a limited-liability company irrespective of the number of owners. This Nevada business income tax is levied on those entities that are required to pay the unemployment insurance tax. It is collected on a quarterly basis.

This is a unique tax that exists only in Nevada and MBT has two classifications – general business and financial institutions. The Nevada LLC tax rate for general businesses is 1.475% and 2% for financial institutions on the sum of all wages taxable after deducting the cost of employee health insurance. However, the first $50,000 of gross wages of a Nevada LLC will not be taxable.

It is important to note that even if the wages are less than $50,000 and there is $0 tax due, the tax return has to be filed by the limited liability company. The Modified Nevada business income tax is paid to the Department of Taxation by the last day of the quarter.

Nevada Commerce Tax Return

On June 5, 2015, the Nevada Governor introduced the new “Commerce Tax” effective July 1, 2015 after the approval of Assembly Bill 380 and Senate Bill 483. This Nevada LLC tax also known as commerce tax will be levied on any business entity that has gross revenue of more than $4 million.

A “business entity” for this type of Nevada business income tax includes a partnership, corporation, limited liability company, sole proprietorship, and any other business entity engaged in business activity in the state. However, at the same time a limited-liability company will be excluded from the commerce tax if it derives at least 90% of their federal gross income from specific investment activities. An LLC will also be excluded from commerce tax if it is confined to business activities like owning, maintenance as well as management of intangible investments, including patents, bonds, trademarks, stocks, and trade names.

The Nevada LLC tax rate for commerce tax is based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and hence varies from 0.051% to 0.331%. Let’s look at an example:

The NAICS code for Agriculture, Fishing, Forestry, and Hunting is 11 and the Nevada LLC tax rate is 0.063%. If the business activity of an LLC focuses on Administrative and Support Services, whose NAICS code is 561 then the Nevada commerce tax rate would be 0.154%. At the same time, it is important to keep in mind that if a Nevada limited liability company is engaged in a business in more than one industry category then the tax rate would be determined by the industry category in which the gross revenue generated is higher.

Local Taxes for your LLC

Nevada has one of the most unique tax systems in the nation. Modified Business Tax exists only in Nevada and apart from commerce tax; there are some local Nevada LLC taxes that may be levied on businesses operating from this state. The different types of local taxes depending on your business activity include:

  • Sales and Use Tax
  • Live Entertainment Tax
  • Local School Support Tax
  • Basic City-County Relief Tax
  • Mines Tax
  • Liquor & Tobacco Excise Tax
  • Insurance Tax
  • Gaming Tax
  • Property Tax
  • Transportation Tax
  • Business License Tax

FOREIGN LLC REGISTERING IN NEVADA

If you have a limited liability company in New York or any other state except Nevada but are interested in forming a business in Nevada, is it possible? Yes, it is definitely possible and all you have to do is register your existing business as a foreign LLC in Nevada. This guide is intended at providing you with in-depth information about setting up and operating a foreign limited-liability company in Nevada.

SET UP NEVADA LLC

What is Foreign LLC in Nevada?

A foreign LLC Nevada is a type of business entity whose primary location of business activity is outside Nevada.

For example: if you have registered a limited-liability company in New York and are planning to sell your services or products in Nevada then you will be required to register your business entity as a Foreign LLC in this state. So basically, your entity is a domestic LLC in New York but in any other state it will be considered as a foreign entity.

There are certain parameters that define if your business is a foreign LLC in Nevada or not. The parameters include:

  • Selling any product or service
  • Having a bank account in Nevada
  • Having a mailing address in this state
  • Owning a warehouse or distribution facility
  • Owning a store
  • A Sales representative in the state

One of the important aspects to consider is that you can start a business activity in the state after approved Nevada LLC foreign qualification.

Steps to register foreign LLC qualification in Nevada

The qualification and formation of a foreign LLC in Nevada is governed by Chapter 86 of the 2017 Nevada Revised Statutes, NV Rev Stat § 86.543 – § 86.5463 (2017). There are several aspects of a foreign business entity that you will need to consider so that you are able to form your business properly. Let’s look at the process through a step-by-step guide.

1. Choose a Name for your Foreign LLC

The first and foremost step towards Nevada LLC foreign qualification is choosing a business name. A foreign limited-liability company has to register their chosen name with the Secretary of State pursuant to NV Rev Stat § 86.546 (2017). When choosing a name, it is important to consider the following:

  • The name of your foreign LLC Nevada should contain words like Limited Liability Company, Limited-Liability Company, Limited Company, or Limited or abbreviations like L.L.C., Ltd., LLC, L.C., or LC. The word Company can also be abbreviated as Co. This name requirement is governed by NV Rev Stat § 86.171 (2013).
  • The name proposed for your foreign LLC in Nevada should be distinguishable from any other name existing on the records of the Secretary of State.

You can reserve the name for a period of 90 days with the Secretary of state. You can run a name availability search to check if your chosen name is available.

2. Application for Registration

The next step is to file an “Application for Registration of Foreign LLC in Nevada” with the office of the secretary of state. This application will ensure, your foreign LLC is formed in the state and your business name is registered. According to NV Rev Stat § 86.544 (2017), the application for registration has to be signed by a manager or a member of the LLC. If the powers are not vested in a member or manager then it has to be signed by any person authorized to sign on behalf of your limited-liability company like a registered agent.

It is important to ensure that the application for registration contains specific information like:

  • The name of the foreign LLC Nevada
  • The jurisdiction and date of its formation
  • A declaration of its existence or certificate of good standing from the jurisdiction where the foreign limited-liability company was formed
  • Name and address of the registered agent of your LLC pursuant to NRS 77.310
  • Address of the business entities office as required to be maintained in Nevada
  • The name and business address of each member or manager

Once the application has been duly filled, it can be submitted by hand or mail with the Secretary of State, 202 North Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada 89701-4201. You can even opt for an expedited service, although the fee would be higher. Alternatively, IncParadise can file it on your behalf.

3. Initial List

Once the Nevada LLC foreign qualification is complete, the business entity will be required to file a list of managers and members and this is known as the initial list. The initial list has to be filed within 30 days of filing an application for registration. You can also file it along with the application for registration.

The initial list has to be filed under the provisions of NV Rev Stat § 86.5461 to 86.5468 (2017) and should contain the name and address of residence or business of each of the managers or members of the foreign LLC in Nevada.

4. Appoint a Registered Agent

A foreign limited-liability company in the state of Nevada should designate and maintain a registered agent pursuant to NRS 77.390 and NV Rev Stat § 86.231 (2017). The primary reason for maintaining a registered agent is to ensure “service of process”. A registered agent is an important aspect of Nevada LLC foreign qualification and can also provide the LLC with an approved physical address where mails and notifications from the Secretary of State can be received.

Note: If a foreign LLC Nevada fails to maintain a registered agent then the Secretary of State can revoke their business or it can lead to dissolution of the legal status of the said business.

A foreign LLC in Nevada will have the option to change their existing agent or hire the services of some of the reputable registered agents like IncParadise. You will be required to file the “Registered Agent Acceptance” form along with the application for registration of foreign LLC.

5. Annual Report and Taxes

One of the important annual requirements post Nevada LLC foreign qualification is the filing of an Annual List or Annual Report with the Secretary of State along with a fee of $150. The filing of the annual list is governed by NV Rev Stat § 86.5461 (2017). The annual list has to be filed on or before the last day of the anniversary month after the filing of the application for registration of a foreign limited-liability company. For example: If you have filed an application for registration on Nov 1,2019 then your annual list or report will be due in November 2020 and you will have to file it prior to Nov 30, 2020.

If a foreign limited liability company fails to file an annual report by the due date then there will be a penalty. If the foreign LLC fails to file 90 days after the due date then the Secretary of State will deem the foreign LLC to be in default pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes § 116.31155 or 116B.620. This can lead to the business entity losing its Nevada LLC foreign qualification.

In addition to the annual report, a foreign LLC Nevada will be required to pay an annual Business Privilege Tax of $200 as well as file individual income tax returns since it is a pass-through entity.

DISSOLVE AN LLC IN NEVADA

There are times when dissolving an LLC in Nevada becomes necessary and it can be because of numerous reasons, personal and business. The formation of a limited-liability company requires several processes and documentation but if you want to wrap up the business, is the process as exhaustive? This guide will provide valuable insight into dissolving a limited liability company in Nevada.

DISSOLVE LLC IN NEVADA

How do you dissolve an LLC in Nevada? How long does it take?

A limited-liability company is an independent business entity and it can continue to exist in Nevada unless it is officially or legally dissolved. If you have taken a decision to close a Nevada LLC then the process needs to be initiated as quickly as possible so that it avoids any legal issues, tax liability or penalties.

There are several reasons for dissolving an LLC in Nevada and certain events require dissolution pursuant to NV Rev Stat § 86.491 (2017). A Nevada limited-liability company can be dissolved in the following situations:

  • If a specific time of dissolution has been specified in the articles of organization
  • If a dissolution should take place due to the occurrence of a specific event as mentioned in the operating agreement
  • Dissolving Nevada LLC upon written agreement or affirmative vote from all the members of the LLC

The process to close Nevada LLC involves filing of dissolution documents with the secretary of state along with liquidating your business assets and settling any liabilities.

The process for dissolving Nevada LLC will take 7-10 business days from the day you file the proper documents. You can speed up the processing by requesting 24 hour, 2 hour or 1 hour processing although there will be a higher fee for the same. You will receive a copy of the confirmation of dissolution through the return service specified in the “Customer Order Instruction” form. Alternatively, IncParadise can assist you through the entire process right from preparing for the filing of the dissolution to ensuring you get a copy of confirmation.

What is the cost of dissolving an LLC in Nevada?

If you want to close an LLC in Nevada then you will be required to file for dissolution with the secretary of state. The filing fee for dissolution is $100, also there will be $3 fee for state payment processing fee and our processing fee $89. Apart from this, if you wish to receive a certified copy of the Nevada LLC dissolution then it will be an additional $30.00 per certification.

Steps to Dissolve an LLC in Nevada

If you plan to close a Nevada LLC then there are certain aspects of dissolution you need to be familiar with. There are times when businesses make the mistake of not focusing on certain key areas resulting in the dissolution documents not being accepted by the Secretary of State. These steps will ensure your limited liability company is dissolved in the proper way.

1. Meeting of LLC Members

The first and the foremost step towards dissolving Nevada LLC, is to arrange a meeting among LLC members or owners. There has to be a vote to dissolve the limited-liability company and everyone needs to agree on adopting a resolution to that effect. The resolution must include payment of all outstanding debts, obligations, and distribution of assets.

2. Close Tax Accounts of Your LLC

The second most important step towards dissolving an LLC in Nevada, is to ensure closure of all business tax accounts. An active Nevada limited-liability company may have several tax accounts like Modified Business Tax, Commercial Tax, or Federal Taxes and each of these accounts are maintained by IRS or the State government. Hence, you need to coordinate with the IRS as well as local taxing agencies to ensure all tax dues are cleared.

Some of the common taxes that your company needs to clear before you can close Nevada LLC include:

  • Quarterly or annual employment tax return: This includes the Employee Withholding Tax and is for businesses that have or had employees. Normally businesses are required to file Forms 941 but small businesses withholding federal income taxes less than $1,000 have to file Form 944.
  • Sales & Use Tax: If your business has been selling taxable services or products in Nevada then you need to clear the dues prior to dissolving a Nevada LLC. This is a monthly or quarterly tax that has to be filed with the Nevada Department of Taxation.
  • Unemployment Insurance Tax: Each and every LLC formed in the state of Nevada has to pay unemployment insurance (UI) tax at a rate of 2.95 percent of the wages paid to each of the employees.
  • Career Enhancement Program: Apart from unemployment tax, a limited liability company will be required to pay a tax of 0.05 percent of taxable wages for the Career Enhancement Program (CEP) in order to close a Nevada LLC.
  • Commerce Tax: A limited-liability company will have to pay this tax only if their gross revenue exceeds $4,000,000 in a taxable year.
  • Make federal tax deposits: In order to close a Nevada LLC, you will be required to file the “Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return” using Form 941.

It is important to enclose Employer identification number (EIN) while filing any of the taxes. See Checklist of Taxes in Nevada for dissolving Nevada LLC.

3. Filing Articles of Dissolution

The process of dissolving Nevada LLC starts by filing “Articles of Dissolution” with the Secretary of State. The Articles are to be submitted by a limited-liability company that has opted for voluntary dissolution. The articles need to contain the following information pursuant to NV Rev Stat § 86.531 (2017):

  • The name of the Nevada limited-liability company
  • That the company has already been dissolved or will be dissolved
  • The effective date and time of dissolving the Nevada LLC
  • The type of dissolution or cancellation

The Articles of Dissolution should be signed by a manager or member of the company being dissolved. The signing authority can also be a personal representative of the last remaining member.

The signed articles of dissolution should be filed with the Secretary of State pursuant to NV Rev Stat § 86.541 (2017) in order to close Nevada LLC. The “Articles of dissolution” will become effective when you file it with the Secretary of State or on a later time and date as specified in the articles. This later date should not be more than 90 days after the date on which the articles have been filed.

The filing fee for articles of dissolution is $100 and it can be mailed, faxed or emailed to the Secretary of State. If you are sending by normal or expedited mail then it can be sent to Commercial Recordings Division, 202 North Carson Street, Carson City NV 89701-4201. The secretary of state offers 24-hour, 2-hour, and 1-hour expedited services at a higher fee.

4. Notifying creditors and settling claims if any

If you are dissolving a Nevada LLC, it is important to notify your creditors about the closure of the business. This is an integral part of distribution of assets and is governed by NV Rev Stat § 86.521 (2017). You need to inform creditors about:

  • The intent to close your Nevada LLC or if you have filed the required documents for dissolution
  • If any creditor has an outstanding claim then you will need to provide the mailing address where they can send their claim
  • Provide creditors with a deadline for submitting their claim. The standard is 120 days from the date of notification of dissolving a Nevada LLC
  • Provide a statement that no claims will be entertained after the deadline

The claims made by a creditor may be accepted or rejected by the business entity prior to dissolving a Nevada LLC. If the claims have been accepted then satisfactory arrangements need to be made for repayment.

5. Distribution of Remaining LLC Assets

In order to close a Nevada LLC, the remaining assets have to be distributed amongst the members in proportion to their share of ownership or ownership interests pursuant to NV Rev Stat § 86.521 (2017).

For example: If A owns 40% of the LLC, B owns 35%, and C owns 25% then the assets will be distributed accordingly, which means A will get 40 percent of remaining assets and so on.

These distributions have to be reported to the IRS by filing Form 990, 990-EZ or e-Postcard (990-N). The form you need to file during the dissolution of a Nevada LLC will depend on the assets and gross receipt.

There is a process to register Nevada LLC and for filing of any documentation related to the formation. This will require you to pay a fee to the Secretary of State. The question is whether forming an LLC is expensive or not. As a matter of fact Nevada LLC fees are not just dependent on the document being filed but also on the requirement of the process filing to be expedited.

Adding Members to Nevada LLC

Your Nevada LLC Registered Agent can file LLC formation paperwork in the state. Although, owners of LLC’s may feel that having a registered agent file their Nevada LLC formation paperwork ensures keeping the name and address of members from becoming public record; it is not true for the state of Nevada. Every LLC in Nevada requires submitting an annual list of managers and members to the Secretary of State.

You can start Nevada LLC with a single owner or multiple owners. Most states including Nevada allows an owner of a Limited Liability Company to choose managers or members or both to manage the LLC. One of the Nevada LLC benefits is that the owner of an LLC has the power to change the management structure of the entity from members to managers or they can add more members or managers. Once you add members, you will be required to file amended articles of the organization.

Note: An owner of an LLC can add members or managers only if it is mentioned in the initial operating agreement submitted by the business entity. Hence, the management structure can be changed to add more members according to the rules of this operating agreement.

Why You Add New Members and How to Add New Members to LLC

You can start Nevada LLC with a single member but sometimes adding new members can provide the business with a distinct advantage. Single member LLC’s are easy to set up but in the long-term, a business needs to be managed in a manner that the business itself benefits. A growing business will have requirements that may be difficult for a single member to handle and hence adding extra members will enable better management of the entity. When you add members to your LLC, some of the important Nevada LLC benefits are that the new members will also enjoy the same privileges like tax advantages and limited liability.

There is a certain degree of simplicity related to a member-managed entity and this is perfect for small businesses as it will not have a complicated organizational structure. The Nevada LLC benefits of adding more members will enable the organization to handle several departments as well as multitude of employees. A Nevada Limited Liability Company with multiple members or managers will bring in more cohesiveness between employees and departments leading to higher performance and productivity.

  • Review the LLC Operating Agreement
  • Study and approve the change in ownership percentage with existing and new LLC members
  • Prepare an amendment to the Articles of Organization or the Operating Agreement
  • Formal voting on the amendment in accordance with the rules of the operating agreement
  • File Amended Nevada LLC Article of Organisation

According to Forbes, Nevada has been ranked #21 in the list of “Best States for Business” and ranked #9 in Business Costs. The economic climate along with benefit programs for small businesses provides the perfect platform to form Nevada LLC. Among many salient aspects of forming a Limited-Liability Company in Nevada is the asset protection policy that businesses enjoy. You will be surprised to know that Nevada LLC Asset Protection law is considered to be the strongest laws in the nation.

Here is a fact: Forbes Magazine has given asset protection trusts in Nevada an A+ rating. The important aspect is to ensure your asset protection trust is created well in advance as asset protection will work only if your assets have been held in the trust for at least two years.

You can create an “Asset Protection Trust” and combine it with your Nevada Limited Liability Company. This asset protection trust will prevent any creditors of the company or members from seeking any of the assets being held by this trust. Hence, your assets will be completely protected. Although the Nevada LLC law related to forming an asset protection trust became effective on October 1, 1999, many business entities have not been able to utilize it for their asset protection.

Nevada LLC tax

One of the primary reasons to register Nevada LLC is that businesses will be able to leverage the fact that there is no business tax or personal income tax in the state. The tax rate for Nevada LLC’s is also one of the lowest in the nation. It is also important to note that LLCs in this state are considered by IRS as “tax reporting entities” and not tax-paying entities.

The tax rate of a Nevada Limited Liability Company is dependent on the type of business entity it is like:

  • An LLC that has a single member will be taxed as a disregarded entity. This translates into the fact that the IRS treats the owner and the LLC as the same entity or person.
  • The Nevada LLC is taxed just like a Sole Proprietorship. This refers to the fact that the owner of such a business entity will have to report and pay tax using Form 1040 – personal income tax return.
  • If you form a Nevada LLC with 2 or more members then it will be taxed as a Partnership. In such a scenario, the LLC will have to file Form 1065 for federal information return and issue K-1 to each of the member for reporting their share of the profit.

These are considered to be default tax elections in Nevada. You can also opt for S-Corp election so that your Nevada Limited Liability Company is taxed as an S-Corp. There are several Nevada LLC benefits for electing to be taxed as an S-Corp.

CONVERT LLC TO S CORP

A Limited Liability Company is one of the most popular forms of business because of the limited liability and tax benefits that it enjoys. If an LLC is single owner then it will be taxed as a sole proprietorship and if it has multiple owners then it can be taxed as a partnership or even a corporate entity. You can also choose to convert LLC to S Corp, so that it can enjoy various tax benefits like “Pass-through Taxation”. Let’s try to understand why the conversion to S Corp is beneficial for businesses and how it works.

CONTACT US

Why Consider Converting LLC to S Corp?

You have registered your business entity as an LLC, why should you switch to an S Corp? Will it be beneficial in any way? One of the governing factors is the self-employment tax. When the income of your Limited Liability Company increases due to higher profits, there will be an increase in the self-employment tax as well. Although, you are paying higher tax, the ability to contribute to any retirement account will not change and hence, when you convert LLC to S Corp Nevada, there will be definite advantages. Let us take a look at some advantages of converting LLC to S Corp.

S-Corp Distribution

If you convert LLC to S Corp then you will be able to classify a part of your income as salary and a part as distribution. You will still be required to pay self-employment tax on the salary part of your income, but the distribution portion will draw only standard income tax. At the end of the day, how you divide your income will determine if you pay a higher or lower self-employment tax.

Savings from Self-employment tax

When you convert LLC to S Corp Nevada, there are several advantages and this is one of the most sought after. When you have a Limited Liability Company, the income will pass through to you or the owner and this income will attract 15.3% self-employment tax. If you or the owner of the LLC resides in a foreign country then you can benefit from the “Foreign Earned Income Exclusion” but it will minimize your income tax and not the self-employment tax. The moment you convert to an S Corporation, you as the owner can classify a part of the profit as salary and then minimize income tax through the “Foreign Earned Income Exclusion” program. At the same time, the rest of the profit will draw Self-employment tax, the amount of which would be much less.

Retirement savings with S Corp

One of the big advantages of conversion of LLC to an S Corporation is that you will be able to contribute a higher amount towards retirement accounts as having an S Corp helps in setting up of the “Solo K” or the individual 401K. Let us check some of the retirement savings options available when you convert LLC to S Corp Nevada.

  • Solo K – This is also known as the “Individual 401k” or i401k. Normally only those people who have an income that is less than $120,000 are allowed to contribute around $5,500 to a 401k/Roth IRA. The salient aspect is that when you convert LLC to S Corp, you can opt for the Solo 401k wherein you will be able to contribute a maximum of $18,000. Apart from the Roth Solo 401k, you can also contribute a maximum of $36,000 to a traditional Solo 401k. It is important to remember that the contribution is dependent on your salary.
