| Have a doctor client who incorporated Professional association. What are the options for him to be taxed as? Only S corporation by filing Form 2553? I am not able to find any info on the internet. I would appreciate your help.
Thanks

| The answer to that depends on what option(s) the state that he's in permits.

| Nope, if he incorporated, the tax treatment is determined based on the federal tax code, not based on state law. If he has incorporated his options would be two: taxation as a C corporation (which likely will mean he is a Qualified Personal Service Corporation taxed at a flat 35% tax for any taxable income remaining in the corporation) or taxation as an S corporation.

| Why choose a C-Corp? All depends on circumstances and goals of the corporation. It's true that C-corp is not usually ideal for small businesses, but what if you had a group of passive shareholders? They could get dividend income vs ordinary S-Corp pass through.
