S-CAP Act of 2025

HR 2777, the S-CAP Act of 2025, amends the Internal Revenue Code to increase the maximum number of shareholders allowed for a business to qualify as an S corporation from 100 to 250. This change directly affects small businesses that currently exceed the 100-shareholder limit, allowing them to maintain S-corporation tax status. The key provision modifies Section 1361(b)(1)(A) of the tax code, with the new limit applying to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025. The bill makes no other changes to S-corporation rules and focuses solely on expanding the shareholder cap.
