Do S-Corps and C-Corps get different deductions than an LLC?

Yes. The deduction list changes based on entity type because different structures follow different sections of the Internal Revenue Code. An S-Corp passes income to owners and may access deductions a C-Corp cannot, while a C-Corp files its own return and qualifies for deductions unavailable to pass-through entities. Select your actual filing status to see what applies.

What does the IRC section number tell me?

The IRC section is the specific part of the tax code that authorizes the deduction. Your accountant uses that number to confirm eligibility, locate the full rule text, and determine how to document the expense on your return. Knowing the section helps you discuss strategy with your CPA and verify that your bookkeeping matches federal requirements.

Does annual revenue affect which deductions I can take?

Revenue is entered to provide context, but the deduction list itself is determined by entity type. Some deductions have phase-outs or caps tied to income, which the tool displays as limits. Your actual benefit depends on your expenses, filing status, and the specific rules in each IRC section, so treat the finder as a starting checklist and confirm details with your tax preparer.
