ForumsStarting a Business

Piece of cake to do it yourself, but unless you know the difference between the types of corporations, definately see an account for guidance.

Anyway, go to http://www.sunbiz.org/ hit Electronic Filing and follow from there. It's under $100. That will set up the corporation. You will then need to select your type of corp, and afterwards you should file for your EIN (Employee Identification Number) and even have file an 1120S with the IRS. File your annual report on the same website, and then you should take all of these documents and go to a bank and open up a checking account. Last, go to the local municipality and get your Occupational License. Then, if you have not already done so, go see an accountant. You're in business.

The whole process, accountant and all should cost you less than $500.

Good Luck.

Hi,

If you are a Citizen or Resident of US, you can very well form S Corp. To Qualify for S Corp, the corporation must have maximum of 100 shareholders.

The S Corporation is a Standard Corporation that has elected a special tax status with IRS and need to file Form 2553. The S Corp. must need to complete a tax return but does not pay taxes directly. The shareholders report the income or losses on their individual tax return and avoid the possibility of double taxation.

Forming an S Corp is a complicated work; we at ICS, Inc would certainly help you forming an S Corp and provide end to end solutions for incorporation services. It's not worth all the time you spend for a task which firms like ours (mybizfiler) charges close to nothing.

If you are in Florida, you can file online very easily as DMIGUY pointed out.

Most states have some type of online electronic filing.

I have created several corps. in FL and the on-line filing takes less than 15 minutes and is very straight forward.

1) File online with state
2) Get EIN from the IRS (also very easy)
3) File the S corp election (Form 2553)
