1120-W - estimated taxes for employer
Form 941 Employers QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return (PDF)
Form 943 Employers Annual Federal Tax Return for Agricultural Employees (PDF)
Form 940 Employers Annual Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax Return (PDF)
Since I am already past the deadlines, is it better to file 2014 taxes as SMLLC (not as a S-Corp) and then file as S-Corp starting from 2015 , considering the penalties by IRS ? |
However it looks like I have to file the below, some quarterly as below :
1120-W - estimated taxes for employer===========As said previously, your s-corporation is a pass-through entity. It does not pay income taxes. But the S corp files a form 1120S to show its profits and or loss for the year.you, as an EE/ The shareholder, pay income tax on the profits of the corporation on your 1040 (thru sch k1 of 1120s);so as your S-corp is brand new and never was a C corp(and has no taxable BIG corp) , then it generally won't owe income taxes of it's own;however, you need to pay excise taxes to TX whrere the S corpo is .
Form 941 Employers QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return (PDF)=====>>Correct;
Form 941 is Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return. It's filed quarterly even if you have nopayroll taxes to report.
Form 943 Employers Annual Federal Tax Return for Agricultural Employees (PDF)========>>you need to File Form 943 if you paid wages to one or more farmworkers and the wages were subject to social security and Medicare taxes or federal income tax withholding .
Form 940 Employers Annual Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax Return (PDF)
==>>>>>>>..as said,you have no employees (but yourself, if Iyou aRE cconsidered an employee) and you do not pay myself through payroll (say youn simply pay bills and then pay youreself whatever is left over each month, which is never very much).
you need to file Forms 940, 941and your state employment tax returns as well. As a corporate officer IRS requires that you pay yourself a reasonable salary which is subject to employment taxes
Since I am already past the deadlines, is it better to file 2014 taxes as SMLLC (not as a S-Corp) and then file as S-Corp starting from 2015 , considering the penalties by IRS ?=>>>>… The election can be canceled by the LLC at any time. Once the election is canceled, the company reverts to an LLC that is taxed as a smllc or sol e ownership then you had to pay quarterly estimated taxes on the taxable income generated from the biz.due dates are apr/jun/sep/ dec 15 2014;if you are filing as a sole proprietor, and/or a self-employed individual, you generally have to make estimated tax payments if you expect to owe tax of $1,000 or more when you file your return.
