This \u201cphased\u201d S corporation set-up lets you keep your costs and accounting hassle low that first year.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in the \u201ctraditional corporation\u201d version of the kit, use instead the button below to purchase and download the Florida Incorporation Kit:<\/p>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.e-junkie.com\/ecom\/gb.php?c=cart&amp;i=FLInc&amp;cl=23704&amp;ejc=2\" method=\"post\"><button type=\"submit\">Purchase and Download<\/button><\/form>\n<p><a title=\"View Cart\" href=\"https:\/\/www.e-junkie.com\/ecom\/gb.php?c=cart&amp;cl=23704&amp;ejc=2\">View Cart<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Kits Include Everything You Need<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you use the LLC or the traditional corporation version of the Florida kit, you get everything you need to set up your own S corporation in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Both kits explain how to form the entity (either a Florida LLC or a Florida), how to get that entity an appropriate federal employer identification number, and how to make the 2553 election with the Internal Revenue Service so your entity can use the Subchapter S tax accounting rules.<\/p>\n<p>Further, both kits include boilerplate governing documents&#8211;an LLC operating agreement for the LLC version of the kit and corporate bylaws for the traditional corporation version of the kit&#8211;which you&#8217;ll need to document how owners interact with the entity.<\/p>\n<h2>Money Back Guarantee<\/h2>\n<p>We provide a money back guarantee when you order any of our downloadable kits or ebooks.\u00a0 To get a refund, simply <a href=\"http:\/\/evergreensmallbusiness.com\/795-s-corporation-tax-return-preparation\/\">email us your refund request<\/a>.
