Can partners in a partnership get a W-2 and be “treated like an employee” like they can in an S Corporation?

Home / FAQ / Can partners in a partnership get a W-2 and be “treated like an employee” like they can in an S Corporation?

Short answer: No.
Long answer. When you turn one of your employees into a partner, that individual will switch from receiving a W-2 to getting a Schedule K-1. If you want your “partners” to be treated like an employee, then an S Corporation is the preferred approach (after you’ve determined that a C Corporation is not the right choice).
