In New York, S Corporations are generally not taxed at the state level. Instead, S Corps are considered pass-through entities. This means that the corporation itself does not pay income taxes to the state. Instead, the income, deductions, and credits pass through to the individual shareholders, who report the income on their personal tax returns.
Although S Corporations in New York aren’t subject to the state’s income tax, they may still be liable for the New York State franchise tax. This tax is calculated based on the business’s gross income, capital, or a fixed minimum tax, depending on the corporation’s size and type of business. The franchise tax ensures that businesses, regardless of their tax classification, contribute to the state’s revenue system.
If your S Corporation is operating in New York City, there may be additional taxes to consider. S Corps in NYC could be subject to the New York City Business Corporation Tax (BCT). This tax applies to businesses operating in the city and is calculated based on the corporation’s income or capital. It’s important for S-Corp owners in NYC to account for both state and local tax obligations.
