  - For state purposes, yes. - spamlet Nov 14, 07:16 3
    - And to clarify, that would be an S-Corp that is only doing business in KS and whose owners are in KS. - spamlet Nov 14, 07:28

  - i had misgivings, but then i thought - are the cats happier there or in a cage in a shelter? -- nm - Andie Nov 14, 06:30 1
