LLC w/S Corp or just S corp in MA (Massachusetts)?

[Alicia R.]

Hi all, planning on setting up an LLC but was told by a CPA in boston to do an S Corp instead because it has just about the same protections and that an LLC has a $500 annual filing fee. so each year I'd have to pay $500 just to keep up the LLC vs. aprox $109 for an S-Corp. Does anyone have any experience with this or can lend some advice/ideas? Thanks

@Alicia R. The CPA is correct . The annual fees are more expensive for an LLC in Massachusetts.
