I just hit the 40k mark this year .I'm a sole proprietor landscape/tree business with a farm that I live on , which might be worth a lot (like a million ). Trying to protect what I got , need help , it's a high-risk business .I've spent more money on equipment than I've made , but I've managed to climb almost out of debt from the last business attempt ( trucking company )
I’m a 1099 electrician apprentice and you have given me allot of ideas about how to move forward, thanks for the education and that electrical thing is technically a non-contact voltage tester (or hot stick, hot or not, widow maker, tic tester, etc). I look forward to looking through your previous videos for better ideas and clarification.
Hi, at around the 40 minute mark you said to pay kids over 18 by using a 1099. In WA state, I was told that I am unable to pay someone (not specifically my children, but anyone) using a 1099 unless they have their own business license (i.e. registered as a business with the State) and have to pay them using a W2 or the State will likely audit me for not paying unemployment tax, etc. because if the person isn't a registered business, they won't be paying the state required taxes. A 1099 is good for federal tax but not State is what I have been told.
Is there an article that explain how I can get back the SSA tax paid by our scorp. The employee portion is being credited on our personal return. I met my SSA obligation through my full-time employer
If you have two unrelated sources of income, should you have two separate S-corps or bundle it all together under a general S-corp? I currently have an S-corp with $90,000 income and my LLC is approaching the $40,000 soon. Convert the LLC into a new S-corp or just move it into ownership to the already existing S-corp even though the S-corp is unrelated work? Advice?
Hey Mark i was wondering why its best for a revocable living trust to own your s-corp and all your llcs. What type of complications that would entail. Etc. Thanks man your content is great.
1. Simplifies accounting upon death (won't have to convert accounts) 2. Better asset protection once it becomes irrevocable as it can't be pierced 3. Anonymity: if you don't want anyone to know who owns your rental property and other long term assets (he recommends short term businesses such as consulting firm to me in your name for advertising)

can I have two HSAs? I am aware of the overall contribution, but my employer contributes to an HSA, can I set up my contributions to a separate HSA (Directed IRA...), so I could self direct my contributions? I assume these have an account with checkbook control. Where can I find out more info about this?
Just like any other retirement account, you can have as many as you would like! But, like you mentioned, the overall contribution limit is a fixed number across all of your accounts.

Great video. I need help on utilizing my S-corp LLC better and set up HRA for this year. Who should I contact to book a consultation?
If you are the owner of S corp, you cannot use HRA for yourself. You can just deduct on your 1040.
Are you taking new tax planning clients?
