Questions about the tools
Are these tools really free?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free and works without an account. You only give us an email address if you want the checklist or annual report reminders sent to you.
Where do the numbers come from?
State fees and deadlines come from each state’s official filing office website, and the tools link to the source for every state. The S corp calculator uses 2026 Social Security and Medicare tax rates from the IRS and the Social Security Administration.
Can I rely on the results?
Use them as a starting point, not as legal or tax advice. States change their fees and rules, so confirm with your state’s filing office before you file, and talk to a tax professional before you elect S corp status.
Do you save what I enter?
The calculators, finder and quiz run in your browser, and we don’t save your answers. If you ask for the checklist or reminders, we keep only what our privacy policy describes.
