About Scorply
Electing S-corporation status is a routine decision with an unreasonably high failure rate. The form cannot be e-filed, the deadline is unforgiving, every owner has to sign, and the address depends on a detail most people get wrong. So people either pay $50–300 for something that takes fifteen minutes, or they file it themselves and find out a year later it did not take effect.
Scorply exists to close that gap: check whether the election is worth making, produce a correct form, and say exactly where to send it.
How we handle the data
Every figure on this site — the 51state profiles, the IRS filing addresses, the 2026 tax constants — was taken from a primary source and carries the date we last checked it. Not from a summary, not from another site, and not from a model’s memory. Where a source turned out to be stale we say so: the IRS’s own self-employment tax page still quotes a 2024 wage base, and its qualified business income page still says the deduction expired after 2025. It did not.
The same applies to state rules. Most published guidance still tells New Jersey businesses to file Form CBT-2553, which New Jersey eliminated in 2022, and still tells Arkansas businesses to file AR1103, which has been obsolete since 2018. We check, and we cite.
What we will not do
- Tell you an S-corp is worth it when it is not. The calculator returns a negative verdict when that is the honest answer, and roughly a third of the headline saving most sites advertise does not survive contact with the qualified business income rules.
- Give you a salary number and imply it is safe. There is no percentage rule and the 60/40 split has no authority behind it.
- Generate a late-relief statement for someone who does not meet the conditions. We screen first and decline when the answer is no.
- Ask for your Social Security number and then store it. Your form is built in your browser; the number never reaches us.
Who runs it
Scorply is operated by Handler Labs LLC. We are not a law firm or an accounting firm, we are not affiliated with the IRS, and we do not give tax advice. We build software that helps you file a form correctly. For anything unusual — multiple owners, several states, an operating agreement with a preferred return — please talk to a CPA.
There are 18 guides on this site and all of them are free. If they answer your question and you never buy anything, that is a good outcome too.
