According to a recent LinkedIn post from Gusto, the company is emphasizing support for solopreneurs who are considering electing S corporation tax status ahead of the March 16 deadline. The post highlights that users can have a guided conversation within Gusto’s platform to assess whether S Corp status is appropriate for their business and, if so, complete IRS Form 2553 directly in the product.

The post further suggests that Gusto offers workflow tools to help customers submit the necessary paperwork on time, including in-platform guidance and options to receive a postage-paid mailing kit or print-and-send instructions. This functionality may position Gusto as a more comprehensive back-office solution for small business customers, potentially improving retention and increasing the platform’s value proposition in the competitive payroll and HR software market.
By focusing on solopreneurs and tax-related complexity, the content implies a strategic push into an underserved segment that often lacks dedicated accounting resources. If the feature drives adoption among single-owner businesses and improves conversion of existing users to higher-value services, it could support Gusto’s long-term revenue growth and reinforce its standing relative to other small-business payroll providers.
