Say hello.

Can you help me choose between an LLC and S Corp?

We provide the numbers and the methodology, but we cannot advise on your specific situation. Use the calculator to model your numbers, then verify with a licensed CPA or EA who can review your full return.

I found a mistake in your state fee data. How do I report it?

Email us the link to the official Secretary of State fee schedule showing the correct number. We treat factual errors as bugs and typically fix them within a few business days.

Is BizTaxMetrics a substitute for a CPA?

No. We publish the numbers, the formulas behind them, and the sources, so that you can have a better-informed conversation with your own accountant. We do not review returns, we do not interpret facts specific to your situation, and we do not sign, file, or advise on anything. Anything decision-grade belongs with a licensed professional who can see your full picture.

How does the S-Corp savings number actually get calculated?

The calculator models your net profit and a salary you choose, computes self-employment or payroll taxes on each structure, subtracts the state-level recurring costs (annual report fees, franchise or minimum taxes), and shows the difference as the net modeled benefit. Every formula and every assumption is written out on the methodology page, including what is deliberately not modeled.

The state fee shown on your site does not match my invoice. What gives?

Send us both numbers. The figure on our state pages is the standard published fee from the Secretary of State or revenue agency. Expedited processing, registered agent services, late penalties, and county-level charges are billed separately by whoever processed your filing and are not part of the standard fee. If the standard fee itself is out of date, that is a bug — we will fix it.

How often is the data reviewed?

Federal formulas are re-audited every year after the IRS publishes its inflation-adjusted figures. State fees are re-read on a quarterly cycle, and any change is published on the updates page with its effective date and primary source. Every page also carries a last-updated date so you can judge freshness before you rely on a figure.

Do you sell, rent, or share my information?

No. We do not sell personal information, and contact form messages are not loaded into a CRM or marketing tool. Third-party processing is limited to aggregate traffic measurement and the advertising services described in the privacy policy. The full detail, including CCPA and GDPR rights, is in the privacy policy.

Can I link to your pages or republish your content?

Linking is welcome and appreciated — deep links to a specific state page or guide are fine. Republishing full articles, the state fee matrix, or the calculator logic on another site requires written permission. Quoting short passages with attribution and a link back is fine. For permission requests, use the partnership option in the form.

I need an answer before a deadline. Can you expedite?

No. We are an editorial project, not a service provider, and we cannot prioritize, review, or weigh in on a time-sensitive filing. For anything with a deadline attached — an election, a payment, a penalty response — contact a licensed CPA, enrolled agent, or tax attorney immediately rather than waiting on us.

How do I ask about a correction I already sent?

Reply to the confirmation email from your original message, or send a new message through the form with the citation link in it. Corrections with a source link are logged and typically resolved within a few business days, and material changes appear on the updates page with their effective date.

What is the fastest way to reach you for a press deadline?

Use the form with the press option selected and include your outlet, your deadline, and the specific question. We can usually turn around background on S-Corp taxation, state fee structures, or pass-through rules within two business days, and faster if the deadline is clearly marked. We do not do on-record individualized tax advice.
