Every law firm is unique, and so is its tax strategy. We work with every common legal entity, including PCs, PLLCs, LLCs, Partnerships, S Corporations, and C Corporations, providing year-round guidance and accurate tax preparation tailored to your firm's structure.
Understanding Your Firm's Legal Structure vs. Tax Structure
Many law firm owners assume their legal entity and tax classification are the same, but they often are not. While your legal structure determines how your firm is organized under state law, your tax structure determines how the IRS taxes your business.
For example, a firm may be legally organized as a PLLC or LLC, but elect to be taxed as an S Corporation or C Corporation. Likewise, a Professional Corporation (PC) may be taxed as either a C Corporation or an S Corporation, depending on the elections that have been made.
At SWAATT, we understand both sides of the equation. We routinely work with law firms operating under a variety of legal entities and tax elections, ensuring that your bookkeeping, payroll, financial reporting, and tax returns all align with your firm's specific structure. Whether you're forming a new firm, considering a tax election, or simply want confidence that everything is being handled correctly, our team has the experience to guide you every step of the way.
