5-3 Resolution Approving Subchapter S Election

NOTE: This form should be used when the Corporation elects to be taxed under subchapter S of the tax code. A subchapter S corporation is simply a corporation that has elected a special tax status with the IRS. This tax treatment allows the Corporation's income to be treated like the income of a partnership or sole proprietorship; the income is "passed-through" to the Shareholders. Thus, Shareholder's individual tax returns report the income or loss generated by an S corporation. Any resolution approved by unanimous written consent in lieu of holding a meeting must be signed by each Director and kept with the Corporation’s records. Otherwise, the text of the resolution is often included in the minutes of the meeting at which the resolution was approved.
