What's the best tax treatment for your startup?

Calculate taxes for LLC's, corporations electing Subchapter S tax treatment (S-Corps), and corporations not making Subchapter S elections (C-Corps). This application calculates the federal income tax of the founders and company, the California state franchise tax and fees, the self-employment tax (for LLCs and S-Corps), pass-through deductions for passthru entities, and the Medicaid and payroll taxes (for C-Corps). The application does not take into account the California income taxes for founders. It is intended to give you a rough sense of the taxation for different entity types.
