Ask ACEAsk ACE: How hard is it to make my LLC an S-Corp?
Carrie Green Yardley, Yardley Esq. PLLCUnder Maine law, there’s no such thing as an S-Corp, per se. You form your entity under state law (in your case an LLC), and then you elect S-Corp status with the IRS.

Today's Poll
With the start of the summer tourism season, many businesses offer their employees summer hours as a benefit.
A 2023 Forbes column defined summer hours as a typical work week, Monday through Thursday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
While many companies may offer summer hours, other Maine businesses are geared towards the summer tourism season — that is when they work the longest hours.
