Then they make an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-owners\/llc-vs-scorp\/\">S Corp election<\/a>.&nbsp; Owners may also choose another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sos.state.tx.us\/corp\/businessstructure.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">entity type<\/a> with the State of Texas and then make the S election. Forming an LLC generally involves fewer formalities and more flexibility than a corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-starting-an-s-corp-in-texas\"><a><\/a>Starting an S Corp in Texas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in starting an S Corp in Texas is to decide on a business name. The name you choose should be <a href=\"https:\/\/texreg.sos.state.tx.us\/public\/readtac$ext.TacPage?sl=R&amp;app=9&amp;p_dir=&amp;p_rloc=&amp;p_tloc=&amp;p_ploc=&amp;pg=1&amp;p_tac=&amp;ti=1&amp;pt=4&amp;ch=79&amp;rl=38#:~:text=Distinguishable%20Names\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unique<\/a>.

For example, your name should not give the impression that it is a government agency. It\u2019s a good idea to confirm the name is available for registration through the Texas Secretary of State\u2019s office. An LLC name can also be reserved online or through the Secretary of State\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step in starting a Texas S Corp is to appoint a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sos.state.tx.us\/corp\/registeredagents.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas registered agent<\/a>. This person or business can accept legal documents for the business. This registered agent must have a physical location in Texas\u2014no P.O. Box is allowed. For example, if a person resides in Oklahoma and conducts most of their business in Texas and has no address in Texas, they cannot be the registered agent because they don\u2019t have a physical address in the State of Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-create-block-hrb-large-article-cta\" class=\"wp-block-create-block-hrb-large-article-cta\" style=\"background-color:#005d1f\"><div class=\"hrb-large-article-cta--image\" style=\"background-image:url(&quot;https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/HMC_Graphic.png&quot;);background-size:contain;background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat\"><\/div><div class=\"hrb-large-article-cta--copy #ffffff\"><h3 class=\"main-heading\">What entity structure is right for my business?<\/h3><p class=\"main-copy\">Answer these six questions to help you find your fit.<\/p><div class=\"quick-links-list\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/business-formation-incorporation-services\/?app_method=HELP_ME_CHOOSE_ENTITY\">Take the Quiz<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-forming-an-llc-in-the-state-of-texas\">Forming an LLC in the State of Texas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Register an LLC with the State of Texas by filing a Texas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sos.state.tx.us\/corp\/forms\/205_boc.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Certificate of Formation<\/a> or Articles of Organization and paying the $300 filing fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you will want to consider formalizing an Operating Agreement. This document usually governs how the business is run, ownership percentages, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/finance\/profit-and-loss-statement\/\">profit and loss<\/a> division, and federal tax provisions. In the federal tax provisions of the agreement, the owners state that they wish to be taxed as an S Corp for federal tax purposes.

Laws vary from state to state. A business attorney can help you understand your specific circumstances and guide your decisions. Likewise, the Secretary of State\u2019s office in most states offers resources for small business owners. This usually includes online information that may help owners assess their options \u2013 and be aware of possible requirements \u2013 for their specific circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Block Advisors Can Help<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can complete all of the steps above yourself, the process can be daunting.&nbsp; Whether you already have a business entity or are starting from scratch, Block Advisors\u2019 online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/business-formation-incorporation-services\">Business Formation tool<\/a> can help you prepare your S Corp election.

If you need to create a new entity, Texas does charge a fee to form both LLCs and corporations. If you use a third party to help you form an entity and\/or make the S Corp election, additional fees may apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>What is the minimum income for an S Corp?<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>S Corps do not have a minimum income requirement. In fact, businesses that sustain a loss can still elect S Corporation status, and it may be beneficial to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>What form do I need to file an S Corp in Texas?<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After you have formed your entity, usually an LLC or corporation, you\u2019ll need to file <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/form-2553\/\">Form 2553<\/a> with the IRS to request S Corp status. Once your business is classified as an S Corp, you will be required to file <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/form-941\/\">estimated tax payments<\/a> quarterly and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/form-1120s\/\">a corporate tax return<\/a> annually with the IRS. You will also need to file a <a href=\"https:\/\/comptroller.texas.gov\/taxes\/franchise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Franchise Tax Report<\/a> with the Texas Comptroller\u2019s office and any other required Texas filings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>What is the difference between LLC and S Corp in Texas?<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An LLC is an entity created at the state level, whereas an S Corporation is a federal income tax classification. Basically, an LLC is the type of business, and S Corp is one of the taxation options available to an LLC federally.&nbsp; Since Texas does not charge income tax on LLCs, an LLC is not taxed differently at the state level, regardless of its federal S Corp status. This is different in some other states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"www.blockadvisors.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HRB-Block-Advisors-Logo-1024x436.jpg\" alt=\"Block Advisors by H&amp;R Block logo\" class=\"wp-image-6406\" style=\"width:300px;height:undefinedpx\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hrbscaletest.hrblock.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HRB-Block-Advisors-Logo-1024x436.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hrbscaletest.hrblock.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HRB-Block-Advisors-Logo-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hrbscaletest.hrblock.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HRB-Block-Advisors-Logo-768x327.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hrbscaletest.hrblock.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HRB-Block-Advisors-Logo-1600x682.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/hrbscaletest.hrblock.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HRB-Block-Advisors-Logo-1536x655.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hrbscaletest.hrblock.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HRB-Block-Advisors-Logo-1200x511.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/hrbscaletest.hrblock.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HRB-Block-Advisors-Logo.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your small business has choices on how it is taxed, depending on its business structure.
