Is an S-corp actually right for you? Let me run the numbers on your situation.
The free calculator on this site tells you the arithmetic. The report tells you what to do with it - using your real numbers, your state and your profession, checked by a person before it goes out. I am opening it to a first batch, and the list is how you get in.
Who this is for
- Sole proprietors and single-member LLCs
- Net profit somewhere in the $60,000-300,000 range
- You are deciding whether to elect for the coming tax year
- You want a number and a recommendation, not a sales call
Who it is not for
- Partnerships, multi-member LLCs, or S-corps with employees other than yourself - that is a different analysis
- Anyone looking for a tax return prepared (I do not file returns)
- Anyone whose profit is small and stable - the calculator already answers it, for free
I am not your accountant and this is not tax advice. What you get is a documented analysis you can take to your accountant so the conversation takes ten minutes instead of two hours.
What actually goes into it
Most of the work is not the arithmetic - the calculator already does that. The work is in the three things a calculator cannot know:
- Whether your salary is defensible. The entire saving lives or dies on this one number. It depends on your profession, your state, and what you could hire someone to do the same job for. Get this wrong and you have not reduced tax, you have created audit exposure.
- What your state charges. Annual reports, franchise taxes and minimum taxes vary enough to wipe out the saving in some states. This is the part competitors skip.
- Whether this year is the right year. If your income is volatile, electing the year after a record year is a different decision than electing after a bad one.
The report answers with a verdict, not a table
You get one of three answers, stated plainly: do it now, wait, or do not do it - plus the reasoning, the numbers behind it, and the specific next step if the answer is yes.
If the answer is "don't do it"
That happens, and it is a legitimate outcome. The report still documents why, so you stop wondering, and you can revisit it when your profit changes. Roughly speaking, the arithmetic only starts to work clearly above $60,000-80,000 of net profit - below that, the salary floor leaves almost nothing to move out of the 15.3% base.
How it works
1. You reserve a spot
No payment now. Leave an email and you are on the list - list order gets the first batch.
2. When it opens, you send three numbers
Net profit, state, profession, and whether the business is a sole prop or single-member LLC. That is the whole intake form.
3. You get the report
PDF by email, with the one-page verdict at the front. If it turns out you should not elect, that is stated first, not buried.
Questions
Is this a subscription?
No. It is a one-time payment for one report, with no recurring charge and nothing to cancel. The decision it covers comes up about once a year at most, so a subscription would not make sense - if you want to revisit it next year, you buy it again then.
Will the price go up?
Yes, and deliberately so. This is founding-batch pricing while there are no reviews or case studies behind it. Once there are, the price rises - the report does not change, the trust does.
Why is this a paid report when the calculator is free?
Because the calculator cannot know your profession, your state's fee schedule, or whether your salary would survive scrutiny. It gives you the mechanical range; the report gives you the defensible answer. If the free calculator already tells you the answer clearly - a very small profit, or a very large one - you probably do not need this.
Who writes it?
A person reviews every report before it goes out. That is also the reason for the 24-hour turnaround rather than instant delivery: an instant answer would be the calculator output with a nicer font, which is not worth $29.
What if I disagree with the conclusion?
Once it is open: refund within 48 hours, no questions asked, and you keep the report. On the list, you have no obligation to buy anything.
Will you file anything for me?
No. I do not file returns, prepare Form 2553 for you, or act as your tax preparer. You get an analysis and a checklist - your accountant or you executes it.
Is my information kept private?
Your figures are used to produce your report and nothing else. They are not sold, not published, and not used as examples.
