Stephen Salas · Answer 1

The answer is: 92 shareholders

Explanation:

According to the S corporation shareholder limit rules, family members count only as 1 shareholder. The meaning of family member is very broad, including spouses, uncles, aunts, children, grandparents, grandchildren, first cousins, and even ex-spouses count as members of the same family.

So that means that Tone Loc, his grandfather, his four cousins, his five children and three of his grandchildren, will all together count as just one shareholder.

His two friends are not included in his family.
