This article is a story about an out-of-state friend and the poor advice and poor service she received from multiple CPAs. The story is told with my friend’s permission with the hope others will heed the warning. Be sure to tell your professional advisors (lawyer, accountant, insurance representative, financial advisor) all of your goals.

For those who do not know, an S Election is a tax election whereby an eligible entity with one class of stock and not more than 100 shareholders, among other requirements, can elect under Subchapter S of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code (Sections 1361 through 1379) tax treatment similar to that of partnerships, namely, that income passes through to the shareholders of the corporation and is not taxed at the corporate level.
