Your videos are the best. Thank you for doing them. They are very informative and I have learned a lot from you. Thanks for being vulnerable too. Nobody is perfect!
Thanks so much for your videos Hannah! So so helpful for business owners who 'do it all' and don't have a finance team! And on a different note, I should have been an accountant.
Hi Hannah, please create a video which addresses a Shareholder providing a loan to the S-corp, how to accurately document that with a repayment plan and AFR noted, how to enter this on QuickBooks, and then when repaying the loan, how will it be withdrawn (i.e. shareholder's distribution), and how it will be taxed. I haven't found any such video that explains this process in a comprehensive and comprehensible way. Majority of them discuss this as being an option, but not necessarily how to utilize this option in an S-corp. Thank you.
Please talk about a business owner having an S-Corp and how it flows onto the personal tax return and how the owners tax bracket is how the S-Corp is taxed, how to reduce tax bracket
Well, you will be in a lower tax bracket if you make less money, but that's not what I generally recommend :) But I think I get the gist of what you are trying to say! I am not a tax CPA, so I won't do many videos about tax strategy. But I can explain some concepts!
Can you please provide insight into how to analyze the owners equity section to determine how much money the owner can take out of the business both from a current year and from prior year perspective? Should owners be taking draws every year? Would love to hear you speak on this
Hi Clara I am also following your videos very well and loved 😍. Please try to include us in South Africa where we have different entity types than the one you refer. 😢
I’m confused on “basis”. It’s owners contribution right? So if I put 100K of my personal funds to start off… The following year by company had a 100K profit but I took 50K distribution, so what’s my basis? And…by year 7 should my basis be like ZERO if the company profit is strong and I initially didn’t “invest” the 100K but I loaned the 100K….
@@ClaraCFO I am using QBO Advanced and recently acquired ADP for Payroll. Both have been connected. Now my concerned is related to Chart of Accounts mapping. My question is that a single expense account named Payroll Tax Expense in QBO is sufficient for all four types of Employer Taxes (SUTA, FUTA, FICA SS, FICA Medicare) in ADP or we need to make 4 separate expense accounts in QBO as the granular detail & reports will be available on ADP. Similar is the case with Employee taxes withheld, is a Single Tax Payroll Liability account in QBO enough for Employee taxes (FI, SI, FICA SS, FICA Medicare) in ADP. Now if we create separate accounts there will be numerous bank feeds to be matched every time payroll is run, also the details will always be fetched from ADP so what's is your expert advise on this? should a single account be linked to ADP or multiple accounts need to be setup.
@@ClaraCFO If the additional draw was from prior period profit (retained earnings) wouldn't that cash have already been taxed? Also, can you speak more to negative equity? Thank you
Hannah, your channel does a real service to the public. Good info!
Thanks! I appreciate that statement! I sure hope so! That’s the goal 🙌

Is your advice only for viewers in USA businesses?
Some concepts would be good for businesses wherever, but I speak directly to US businesses. This video is specifically for US businesses.

Oh yes - this only applies to US companies! I hope someone in SA will do videos like this to help SA businesses!

if she made 50,000 profit, & withdrew 60,000, how was that possible? Where did the 10,000 come from?
Did your business have any loans? You could have excess cash from a credit card loan for example
It was most likely cash that was already in the business from prior year earnings. It could also have been from borrowed funds.
