    Thank you for breaking it down this way! I've flip-flopped on which structure to use to begin my business. Now I realize I've been wrong the whole time...I need to BEGIN as an LLC and hopefully grow to need/change to S-CORP.

      What is your business model? You can start as a sole proprietorship.

      @Jennine Morel sole proprietorship would not work for my business. That's why I had to figure out if I needed an LLC or an S-Corp.

    I appreciate your content. I would suggest people also consider the following. 1) the list of regulations, accounting costs huge difference, set up, servicing costs for the s-corp are substantial vs the LLC. 2) If an LLC is producing a K1 distribution into a SCH C the very same FICA tax benefit deduction is also available as employer/employee reducing the $15,300 tax to $7650. 3) depending on state income tax laws the tax on profits to an S corp far exceed the tax limits on revenues to an LLC $11,790 vs $15,000 on business revenues of $5mil with profits of $1mil in California. 4) once you start an S-corp you cant go back to an LLC but if you start as LLC you can always go to S corp status

    At around the 10min mark is where he points out the primary reason to be an S-Corp...the share holder distribution that is untaxed. 100k in net income is zero'd / split up as 50k as a W2 and 50k as a K1. You still report the K1 on your taxes but it is not taxed. Literally, 50% of your income is not subject to any tax withholdings at all. I have been doing this for years with my accountant. I believe the IRS code says Corp shareholders can receive a "reasonable" distribution that is not taxed. It's generally assumed that "reasonable" is half...

With the area that I am in and the demand for what is being requested I feel 1000% positive on this idea. It’s just time to make this dream a reality one step at a time #BBO ❤
