  • In this video, I'm covering 3 tax benefits of LLC and explaining how the LLC "saves taxes." In the process, we'll also be explaining tax benefits of LLC vs Sole Proprietorship and the tax benefits of LLC vs S-corp; because the truth is the LLC is a disregarded entity and can only be taxed as a Sole proprietor OR s-corp.

    Actually you can save income tax by forming an S Corp. After paying yourself a "reasonable salary", you can take cash distributions that are NOT subject to payroll tax FYI, I'm almost a 40 year CPA.

      @businessfinancecoach  3 роки тому +2

      I didn't say you CAN'T save taxes with an s-corp but you would be 1000% incorrect to put most small businesses in the S-corp - since you are a CPA I will NOT educate you on the matter as you ought to be educated on it yourself!

    I'd like to clarify that there are some businesses that do substantially better being an S-Corp. Example: Profit of 100K, in Sole Prop you would pay 15% SE taxes on 100k but in S-Corp only 15% on 50k (with reasonable salary of 50k), saving about $7000 year. Do you agree?

    This the second video I watched on LLCs and taxes. The last one was a lawyer who encouraged his viewers to file taxes as an S Corp claiming that it will saved you an additional 15k out of 100k on average. Even though I'm confused now 😂, I am really glad you explained it the way you did. I'm definitely a new sub and the other guy just lost one 😂

    • @businessfinancecoach
      @businessfinancecoach  3 роки тому +7

      People don't know what they are talking about (especially lawyers since this is a tax things - but they cause so many people problems by telling them to form this)... it's a LOAD of bull crap all over the internet BECAUSE they know people want to know what to do "to save taxes," and they want to think they found a true and simple solution. Taxes are not simple. That doesn't mean the s-corp CAN'T save you money, but it's not something to worry about when getting started and it costs many people MORE money... check out my other videos on this where I go into detail.
      ..Social Security tax ends at 117,000 and then there's only medicare to save -- so "saving 15k out of every 100k" shows a minor level of understanding our complex system.... check out my other videos!! Save yourself time, headache and money! :)

    There is so much misinformation out there about LLCs and taxation, but this is correct. LLCs give you no tax benefits at all, the only thing that would give you tax benefits is electing to be taxed as an S Corp and paying yourself a W-2.

It is also a home based business. I hope you do have more videos coming up. So far, my business has not been too successful. However, I am doing business as a sole proprietor. I would like to learn more about the self-employment tax, and how to get more clients and grow my business. I would like to hear from you if possible. I would like to do my business in the right way. In the meantime, I think you are doing well as a business coach. Keep up the good work. Please let me hear from you at the earliest convenience possible. Thank you so much. I do have a desire to do well with my business. I thank you again, and look forward to seeing more of your upcoming videos if possible, and I also look forward to your response. Thank you again.

    Hello: I have a related question.
    Does LLC pay taxes on the goods it buys as a retailer. I'm not talking about office supplies but more about the items that it purchases to manufacture things and resell the product later? IF so how it works?
    A good example is restaurants. They do not pay tax for the groceries they purchase to prepare meals.

    What you said about the distribution or dividend being illegal... Why would an attorney advise me to do something illegal??? If the business paid taxes on its profits the year before, then the distribution is not considered to be a taxable income and therefore is not illegal.

    • @businessfinancecoach
      @businessfinancecoach  4 роки тому +1

      Funny huh!? Why are lawyers filing a tax election anyway?? Checkout my next videos - they go over my spreadsheet template from my CHOOSING THE BEST TYPE OF BUSINESS TO FORM course that details comparing the taxes, in each type of business.

    • @ericeandco
      @ericeandco 4 роки тому +1

      Yah. I wouldn’t say illegal. Maybe not the right word. Your attorney knows more about your situation than we do in UA-cam land. Dividends are issued from C. Corps. It’s a process. Distribution are from S corps. They flow to you from a k-1. If you have these types of companies you might want to consult a CPA or at least an enrolled agent, or a law firm that practices tax law as well as businesses law. Some lawyers are CPA’s as well as JD’s.

    I work as a self-employed person and I'm moving to Portugal. I'm getting a lot of mixed messages about the best way to go to avoid the very high Portuguese taxes. A Portuguese tax person said form an LLC and just pay yourself in dividends because Portugal doesn't tax dividends, but first of all, LLC's don't pay dividends (maybe he's thinking tax it as an S Corp?) and second, you can't just pay yourself in dividends. It's so hard to get good tax advice, especially when you're working with people in two countries to try and find the best solution!

    • @businessfinancecoach
      @businessfinancecoach  3 роки тому +1

      you usually can't avoid tax, legally, when you live and work somewhere. Look into understanding their rules more - don't try to decipher someone who didn't make sense. Go straight to their government websites - get clear on their rules first. Take it one piece at a time.

  • @georgeramos1462
    @georgeramos1462 4 роки тому

    My tax preparer explained that as an S corp, if I pay myself say 30,000 as an employee, then the remainder of the taxable income is say 150,000 that the 30,000 will be taxed at the appropriate earned income bracket, VS 180,000 at the higher bracket. I'd like to hear your position on that?

    • @businessfinancecoach
      @businessfinancecoach  4 роки тому +1

      30k is what you would pay someone to do your job? It's highly doubtful that the owner of a business profiting 150k would be paid 30k (there are other reasons as well). Therefore, if you do an actual reasonable wage, like 50-100k... Plus you loose out on the 20% deduction for those wages - it's more like a solid 200k + that it becomes beneficial.
      The tax bracket is irrelevant because both your W-2 wages and the net income of the business (under either structure) is totaled for income tax. The s-corp is beneficial when you are ready to pay all of the fees associated with a W-2, setup an accountable reimbursement plan so that you can still take a home office or vehicle write off (which you would loose as a W-2 employee) and track basis.

  • @joshuacepeda3714
    @joshuacepeda3714 4 роки тому +3

    Great content thank you for making this video. I am confused about one thing though. When you say it is illegal to collect dividends or a distribution from your S-election, do you mean that in the context of the wage you are paying yourself, or did you mean that in general? I’m other words, if I am paying myself a “reasonable income” according to the IRS and paying all associates taxes (FICA etc.), can I then collect dividends from my business? Just asking for more clarity, not quite sure what you meant

    • @darknightrider
      @darknightrider 4 роки тому +1

      You'll be looking at more of a distribution (depending on your basis). In most cases you can take a distribution as an S corporation but you do need to pay yourself a reasonable compensation

    You say the IRS doesn't acknowledge the LLC, but don't you have to register for an EIN with the IRS once you have formed your LLC? I guess I'm asking what's the difference between having an EIN, and being a separately taxable entity altogether, and what purpose does the EIN serve if not to establish a new taxable entity?

    • @businessfinancecoach
      @businessfinancecoach  4 роки тому +3

      ah, no. LLC is a legal entity. The IRS classifies it as "Disregarded entity". Every business has two types - legal and then tax. Tax type is based on the legal type. .... Employer Identification Number (EIN) -- so you only need it if it is your tax type doesn't use a SS (mmllc, p-ship, etc.) or if you hire employees. Otherwise, a SMLLC does not need an EIN. Check out the videos links in the description below the video for this explained in far more detail!

However, I have an LLC (single member LLC), and I wasn’t sure if I should get paid through my LLC or as a 1099 Contractor (which would be through my social security number)? The reason why it’s confusing me so much is because as a 1099 Contractor I will only make $70k-$80k a year and I wasn’t sure if it would make sense for me to be paid through my LLC (oh and I’m married too by the way). Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Enjoyed watching your videos. I started out as a sole proprietor and was talked into forming an s-corp to save on taxes (ie: SE taxes). It's been a rough 1.5 yrs trying to learn all the procedures, accounting, etc. Can't say how much I'm saving really or if it's worth the hassle. You make it seem like I should reconsider. I would love to have a consultation. I believe you offer a virtual consultation?

    Hello,
    First of all, thank you for the great videos filled with information. I have some doubts about my situation and hopefully you can help me.
    I am a day trader living in Spain and I am considering opening an LLC in the U.S.A. I would eventually be opening an account as an LLC with a us based broker that is located in New York City (lime brokerage). If I opened my LLC in the state of Delaware for example and traded using the services of the broker located in New York state,would I have to register as foreign LLC in the state of New York and eventually pay taxes in the U.S. or is that not necessary and I must only pay Delaware's annual tax fee plus spanish income tax on whatever salary I received from the LLC as a Spanish resident?
    Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

      That only works if your LLC has a separate bank account(legally it should, it the whole point).
      AND , it actually has enough in the bank to cover the lawsuit.
      So either way tip toe with customers, try your very best not to be sued in the beginning.
      Then hopefully that method lasts for life.

      Great question! No 1099 needed (or allowed)! Check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/DZ6KKdtdfAo/v-deo.html
      Yes, the money you take out (draws/distributions) and the money you put in (contributions) are tracked in accounts in effect your BASIS. Generally, they aren't taxed, unless you withdraw more than your basis (which only happens if you have a bunch of members and money is being moved around).
      Separately, is the net income from the business. You are always taxed on your share of this income!

      If you are a single member LLC you are considered a disregarded entity(another words you are treated as a sole proprietor for tax purposes). You also have the option to be treated as corporation or partnership should you elect to do so. This would mean in addition to your individual return you would need another separate and costly return. It might be worth it but not usually when you’re just starting out. The reason people select an LLC status is to protect their personal assets. There’s usually an annual fee to be an LLC. It’s pretty easy to set up. Since you work with the public the first thing you want to do is get adequate and proper business insurance. Get quotes and talk to a couple of agents then decide.

      @@DanielDTUBWeinberger it doesn’t offer full protection, once LLC is bankrupted they can come after you. It’s called, “Tort” is the Norman word for “wrong.” There are three main types of legal wrongs: criminal wrongs, contractual wrongs, and tort wrongs. Usually get sued for tort or negligence. LLC won’t protect you from these, so it can be a false sense of protection. You’re not totally protected. I would get at least a million dollar GL policy and umbrella policy to protect you just in case of a lawsuit. Just my thought.
