THANK YOU for detailed C Corp content! More C Corp content please! All the C Corp content on UA-cam that I find is exactly as you described: naive. Some of us are already in the top tax bracket with W2 income and have more complex needs/plans. Thank you! More of this please! And more detailed info about how I can make a C Corp work for me and my family, e.g. setting up a Roth 401k for my 5 yr old and getting his growth started ASAP. How would a C Corp work with a WY holding company? How can I get a C Corp to pay for a vehicle that is 90% business use/10% personal use with reimbursements? Detailed C Corp content is sorely lacking, maybe even my comment here has things wrong because it's difficult to find/learn. Thank you again for this video. Great stuff.
I second this comment. Insights into a ROBS transaction and implications of owning RE in C corps and exit strategies would be awesome to know. Just watched your turo video on liability and tax -@@ClintCoons 2 thumbs up on both of those videos. Subscribed and plan to watch it all. @thoselog similar ideas as you on starting retirement plans for kids and buying houses to help them get a start on real estate before starter homes price them out. Finally a legit source and I can stop scrolling for awhile. Big Thanks!!
Or pay for their services and get the answers you need now. You seem to have the assets to afford it :) We got their trust package, in the process of filling out the forums. Good people to work with, and no, I don't get paid to say that haha.
You are the freaking best!!! I’ve been reading books, studying and have been doing intense research on this, but you are the only one that broke it down to the damn core!!
Thank you for this information! It's so helpful as I was looking to start as an LLC and did not know the difference behind S-Corp or C-Corp. This has helped me in my decision with my start-up. Thanks so much!
Thanks for great analysis in choosing C Vs S Corp. There is also section 199A QBI deduction of 20% for trade related business (Rental income may qualify in some cases) for S Corp and seems like not available for C-corp Which may incentivize to go with S-corp.
Awesome video as usual! Do you have a video about the borrowing from a c-corp strategy yet? Considering forming a holding company for my business activities and loaning myself earnings from the c-corp to buy real estate. How do banks looks at that for mortgages?
This is a fantastic breakdown. Seems every other video on UA-cam about C corps just rattle on about 'double taxation' with zero understanding of the myriad benefits
I believe section 1244 ordinary loss is limited to $50k if single and $100k if married, any excess loss is capital. Also pretty sure that electing S-corporation taxation allows the owner to deduct any amount of loss, regardless of marital status, in full so long as the owner has basis and isn’t subject to passive loss or at-risk limits (they shouldn’t be if they run the business).
Love the content..Well explained and straight to the point! But, If I plan on growing my business in the future, does owning a holding company outperform the Inc./C-Corp tax strategy and structure?
hello , you are so knowledgeable and think about the viewer as your family , and straight forward . I watched lots of video about this kind of service , but nothing hit me core like you did , !
So end of story is set up an Inc. or LLC taxed as an C-corp. I've also heard Toby mention an additional benefit of C-corp is the insurance write offs. Good stuff!
This was a great video. I am in the middle of investing in a franchise business and i cannot make a decision on the proper entity because of all the various inputs out there. Some say LLC, Some say C-Corp (ROBs) some say LLC taxed as C-Corp. It's so confusing and it seems like you're pushed in one direction based on the experience of the CPA you go with but ultimately it's been tough trying to decide what is best for a startup franchise! Thank you for this video!!

Brother amazing video! As the founder of a tech startup focused on AI that is raising 300-400k USD, ROI of around 4-6 months after launching...and as a non-US citizen opening american company in Delaware, living in Europe and having international investors, is C Corporation the right choice for me? We are working with 48 influencers with a total of 10 millions followers, so marketing is piece of cake and not a big chunk of costs (contrary to other startups). My engineering team is top notch. We are capturing Gen Alpha market in Mexico and then expanding to Southeast Asia and Latin America. Please let me know and would love to work with your team in the near future!
Q: Hypothetically Business annual revenue is $300K Annually salary is $50k Business profit after all other overhead is: $150K Distribution for ownership (myself is $100K) If I set up as a S-Corp without showing losses (because my company is profitable and I would like to buy R.E. does my distribution ($100K) taken into consideration with my salary of ($50k). Also, my w-2 combined with wife is $150K. If we decide to sell the company, could we change from an S-Corp to a C-Corp for the tax benefits. Great Explanation BTW. Thanks in advance…
You might consider hiring your spouse and paying her a salary to bump up her w-2 then have her apply for the loan. If you keep what you have in place you can definitely get loans but your S-Corp will need to provide tax returns to the lender if you are going on the loan
How does the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) affect anonymity of Wyoming and other similar states offerings? Is there any difference now since everyone must disclose? What about dissolved Llc? Do you have to report even when it no longer exists? What about liability protections? Can you please do an in-depth explanation of how to navigate this new obstacle? Thank you
It has zero effect on your anonymity. If an LLC is dissolved you no longer have to report on it. andersonadvisors.com/corporate-transparency-act-compliance/
WOW. THANK YOU! Watching your video helped me to decide what type of business I should open. I have been interviewing several CPAs and none of them could explain what you did in this detailed and well-explained video.
Appreciate the content. I'm doing ROBS and was worried about going to a C Corp, this helps. $150k startup to help float us, 1st year all profits stay in with avg 1M in sales, 260k in W2's, and plan to sale it in 10 years(franchise). May have to check out ya'lls workshops.
If you own more than 25% of the C-Corp the lender will require to see those tax returns and want to do a liquidity test just to make sure there is not signficant losses like you mentioned.
Thanks so much for this! So in the last scenario if it's a business you hope to sell one day and you set up an INC taxed as a C-corp - who are the shareholders from an asset protection standpoint? WY LLC's?
I have had my C corp since 1989, but I eventually want to close it down now that I am retired from the "business" which is no longer active but there are assets within the Corp. Please discuss how/why/when we wind down and close the corporation and the tax ramifications in doing so. Or maybe just "death do us part" and let the heirs figure it out?
To shut down the business you will need to consult with your CPA to determine the tax basis of your shares and the built in gain of any assets in the company. Yes it can be complex depending on the assets of the business.
Wow great information that no one else had. You are very intelligent for finding the root for being in business and really helping me make the right decision before I make a bad one without the proper knowledge for what I want to do later with the business. This is the best video I've seen by you and from anyone else because no one else touched on these very important topics and why like you have, or maybe because they didn't know to is what I'm thinking. You are the best. Love your work.
Thank you Clint! Very concise and informative with real-world examples and the $$/tax consequences. I watched the 8-hour live webinar on 01/06/24. I learned so much! I love Toby's passion & techniques to legally reduce tax liability. Brilliant!!!! I will schedule a consultation later this month to review my Trusts' structures and Future Investment Plans. I am very impressed with Anderson Business Advisors. Keep up the great work! Continued Blessings, Baron David Carlton
I never hear anyone talk about the impact of deliberately taking small scorp salary and the impact to later social security PIA amount. You want to achieve a certain level with FICA to qualify for SS and medicare when you retire.
Thank you. We’re trying to figure out what to do… what if you have no real expenses or growth costs and you just provide a service as 1099s. Do you recommend still trying to be treated at a corp?
I am thinking of creating a company to install solar panels on the roofs of houses. What is the best type of company that I can register in and the best state without taxes?
This information was incredibly amazing and so valuable to me! Thank You! I'm currently working on real estate investment and just flipped our first house. One of your videos mentioned not being "tagged" as a flipper, I believe. Can I create my corporate entity and "retro" the house I just flipped as my first property? Secondly, I'm an acupuncturist by trade and am looking to do a start up as a separate entity. Does this strategy work equally in that field? I wasn't sure if I could "tie" it into the entity I use for real estate or if it needs to be it's own separate business. Thanks again for the amazing videos, I can't get enough of them!
The business activities should be kept separate. In response to the flipping, that shipped sailed and I would not be too worried about the dealer classification. One flip will not make you a dealer. If you plan on flipping additional properties then yes, consider establishing an entity for your flipping activities.
Thanks @ClintCoons for the info! For those setting up a startup business online including consulting (not real estate) and looking into the setup of a WY MMLLC for Operating Company, a WY C-Inc for HC to hold all personal assets (mostly brokerage accounts and personal home) and 100% of the OC, and eventually a Trust (which kind exactly and WY or NV?) to own the C-corp, is the order to set these up important to maintain anonymity if all done in WY and possibly using a registered agent? I ask because, for example if we start at the bottom and my wife and I initially own the OC which will allow to get the business actually started, then, we create the C-Inc HC (owned by us) to own the OC instead of us plus our personal property, and then, we create a trust to own the C-Inc HC, would that order reveal the ownership as it unfolded vs. starting at the top (1. Trust -> 2. HC-> 3. OC)?
If you are planning to start your own business, I would suggest you set it up in the state where you live. When it comes to taking payroll, you will need to register it in your state, and that will negate the benefit of WY or NV.
Thank you it was helpful info. I would like to know about borrowing from a c corp to buy real estate or borrow to invest in the business, for example I need to buy a van (electrician) What would you recommend?
If you have an S-corp and pay yourself and your spouse W2s, underwriters still need the businesses information? They don’t just look at the provable income?
Hi Clint With an Wyoming llc, Can I open a bank account or brokerage account in any state? Not looking to do biz in these states Just access to banking etc. thank you!
Great question, to assist you further, I highly recommend you request a free 45-minute consultation to discuss this with my team so we can provide you with an answer that is unique to your situation. Visit: aba.link/e2v
Starting a smog test only shop in California, startup cost is 35-40k and currently work for my boss making 55k a year. Growth is a medium factor since I will only offer one service, location is gold for the only shop being around the city, and new equipment is needed only every 10 years at a low cost under 8k. I do have plans to use my business to buy real estate or start a second small business. Sounds like Inc and c Corp is the right move for me?
That is what I would look at forming based on the info you provided. If you would like a FREE 30-minute consultation, you can request one here - aba.link/30minSession
So, I gather this is an indicator that a c-corp, regardless if you're a start-up or a long-standing big hitter. It sounds safer and more beneficial due to it being a separate entity and its tax benefits? The C-Corp gets audited, not you. The C-Corp gets taxed, not you, and the C-Corp being a separate entity, and you being the employee, makes it safer? Question's: 1. If you start a C-Corp, who is the owner if it is its own entity? 2. Does a C-Corp have to be reported for Child Support reviews or just your income made as a paid employer?
Do both S and C corp able to deduct capital losses , pay self salary and set up for health insurance as employee, deduct home office as an expense and educational expanse? Does gov looks at initial capital investment when setting up as S vs C corp even though the expected return will be small when you started out ie trading business? Would addition 1099 as a contract worker affect your decision( which may not be permanent?)
Yay some useful information about the C corp stuff vs what the internet says. Is it possible to have a LLC partnership where one member (C corp) takes all the taxes and the second member (Disregarded) able to withdrawal/deposit any money in the business?
What you are referring to are "special allocations". Special allocations in a partnership work by allowing the allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit in a manner that differs from a partner's liquidation value percentage in a particular taxable year. These allocations are determined by the partnership agreement and must have substantial economic effect and not be used to avoid or evade Federal income tax.
looking into building a home on a lot with 3 partners. we own the lot already. do you recommend creating an LLC with each party being an officer/member?
For #4, can I just form a brand new Inc. that buys the LLC, then sell the Inc. and get the first $10m tax free? I presume that if the Inc. bought the LLC that would be a taxable event to the LLC, so I imagine that if this is in fact doable, it's advisable to do in the beginning when the LLC is not worth much.
I have a question. A friend of mine has had a logistics business for several years. I decided to go in as an investor. I’m sure I did this absolutely the wrong way, but I ran up my wife’s credit card and my credit cards to purchase a trailer and I put 20,000 down on an 18 wheeler and financed the other 27. we started in June and haven’t seen a profit and I did this as an LLC formation. I want to get the most tax benefit out of this when the time comes my wife and I both work regular jobs. Even though we are not profiting we do not want to sell, you want to keep the business and hopefully at least get a huge tax benefit off of depreciation and hopefully against the startup money which is at 40 K. Should I change the formation? Should I get something in addition to the LLC? Please help I didn’t realize how clueless we were, that was pretty clueless to run up our credit cards like that. We do want to own a home in the future because we currently rent right now because we haven’t been able to pay off the credit cards because we haven’t seen a profit or credit is currently not doing great.

Hi, To be a partner in an S corp, you must be a resident or citizen. My question is whether a person under temporary protected status could be part of the company?
I talked to your team , they told me there is little risk running ecommerce business , therefore no need set up an LLC. I am confused , maybe you can do a video to give some deeper understanding why Ecoomerce should set up an LLC thank you
LLC vs S corp: isn't this kind of a moot point? We are an LLC with S corp "treatment" with IRS. Is there a case to be an S corp instead? Or is there even an option in some states?
Clint, I am currently a W2 employee as a contractor to a government entity who is wanting to change me to a 1099 contractor next month. I make 166K. I do not have any startup expenses to speak of but I do want to avoid self employment taxes. I also want to retire in 3 years. What works best for me?
So, can I sell my S Corp to my new C Corp? What happens to the vehicles that are currently being depreciated over 5 years? What is the best structure for trucking company if I'm planning to rent my own equipment to owner operators and want to limit my liability for their actions? Should I do my trucking operations under C Corp and what would be better to have my trucks/trailers titled under? I've heard from some people from Delaware that it's better to create multiple LLCs under that C Corp and to have equipment titled under those LLCs in groups of five or something. But I wonder how they can't come after my C Corp's LLCs if they owned by it?
@@waltmiller You would not want to sell an S-Corp to a C-Corp. 2 options here 1. Set up a new C-Corp to run the business and have the existing S-Corp lease the vehicles to the new C-Corp. 2. Convert the S to a C for federal tax purposes. Before you proceed with either option discuss the tax ramifications with your CPA
I wanted to ask, I plan on opening investment firms, where raise funds to invest in diverse businesses. And want to include every investor in the entity, but they don't manage anything I do the investment but I wanted them to be included formally in the entity, which is better Corp(C) or LLC, and it easy to meet requirents for C corp since I am the only one who manages it.
Teacher, I HAVE A LAWNCARE BIZ, D.B.A, for 2YRSnow. IM READY TO TRANSITION... IVE ALSO INHERITED LAND FROM my FATHER which PASSED ON. WHICH DIRECTION SHOULD I TAKE with my structure? I HAVE CLIENTELE AND WOULD LIKE TO HIRE a few neighbors as EMPLOYEES. ALSO, SOME OF THE CUSTOMERS WOULD LIKE TO SELL THERE PROPERTY OVER TO ME in the neighborhood. IM INTERESTED IN setting up for future growth. What should I structure like? INC AND C CORP?
LLC as S-Corp for biz and a separate LLC for the real estate but it is best if you set up a consult to look at your situation in detail. If you would like a FREE 30-minute consultation, you can request one here - aba.link/30minSession
Um… You can only avoid tax on first $10M of an Inc/C Corp sale if you’ve had interest in the company for a period of 5 years or longer… Why wasn’t this mentioned ?? PLUS… it’s not “money in your pocket” because then the $ gets distributed to you as the shareholder and that’s a taxable event… So if you haven’t owned the S Corp for at least 5 years and you sell, you don’t get the no corporate tax on first $10M benefit, AND then you get hit with double taxation when the corporation sale gets distributed to you as the shareholder. With an S Corp., you don’t have to face any of these issues… All of it passes through to you on an individual level and you just pay a capital gains tax. So Clint, please tell me how a C Corp could possibly be beneficial to the vast majority of people who won’t even meet the requirements to qualify for the C Corp’s benefits?
The 1202 QSBS exclusion avoids taxation because it involves a stock sale rather than an asset sale, which means no dividends are distributed to shareholders. In contrast, with an S-Corp, you cannot exclude the gain on the sale. If the transaction is structured as an asset sale, then double taxation does occur as you mentioned. I favor using C-Corps because they separate business activities from my personal tax returns (Form 1040). As an investor utilizing financing, I prefer that underwriters do not have access to my business taxes, profit and loss statements, or balance sheets.
(Your 5's give anxiety😊 I'm into handwriting analysis and the way this #5 is written is a red flag. JS😬) Regardless thank you so much for this S Corp information. Very helpful.❤

Excellent information!! We help people to open their Wyoming LLC in less that 24 hours...
Q: Hypothetically
Business annual revenue is $300K
Annually salary is $50k
Business profit after all other overhead is: $150K
Distribution for ownership (myself is $100K)
If I set up as a S-Corp without showing losses (because my company is profitable and I would like to buy R.E. does my distribution ($100K) taken into consideration with my salary of ($50k).
Also, my w-2 combined with wife is $150K.
If we decide to sell the company, could we change from an S-Corp to a C-Corp for the tax benefits.
Great Explanation BTW. Thanks in advance…

Yes, you would need to set up a traditional C-Corp INC for a rob.
If you own more than 25% of the C-Corp the lender will require to see those tax returns and want to do a liquidity test just to make sure there is not signficant losses like you mentioned.
Thanks so much for this! So in the last scenario if it's a business you hope to sell one day and you set up an INC taxed as a C-corp - who are the shareholders from an asset protection standpoint? WY LLC's?
Yes set up as an INC C-Corp with individual as shareholder.
As a real estate investor filing as an LLC you have me thinking I was given bad business setup info. I'd like to hear more on a C Corp please.
First thank you.
I have had my C corp since 1989, but I eventually want to close it down now that I am retired from the "business" which is no longer active but there are assets within the Corp.

I wasn't sure if I could "tie" it into the entity I use for real estate or if it needs to be it's own separate business. Thanks again for the amazing videos, I can't get enough of them!
The business activities should be kept separate. In response to the flipping, that shipped sailed and I would not be too worried about the dealer classification. One flip will not make you a dealer. If you plan on flipping additional properties then yes, consider establishing an entity for your flipping activities.
Thanks @ClintCoons for the info! For those setting up a startup business online including consulting (not real estate) and looking into the setup of a WY MMLLC for Operating Company, a WY C-Inc for HC to hold all personal assets (mostly brokerage accounts and personal home) and 100% of the OC, and eventually a Trust (which kind exactly and WY or NV?) to own the C-corp, is the order to set these up important to maintain anonymity if all done in WY and possibly using a registered agent? I ask because, for example if we start at the bottom and my wife and I initially own the OC which will allow to get the business actually started, then, we create the C-Inc HC (owned by us) to own the OC instead of us plus our personal property, and then, we create a trust to own the C-Inc HC, would that order reveal the ownership as it unfolded vs. starting at the top (1. Trust -> 2. HC-> 3. OC)?
If you are planning to start your own business, I would suggest you set it up in the state where you live. When it comes to taking payroll, you will need to register it in your state, and that will negate the benefit of WY or NV.
Awesome. Thank you
Thanks for watching
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
How could I get an appointment to learn more about the topic?
Thank you it was helpful info. I would like to know about borrowing from a c corp to buy real estate or borrow to invest in the business, for example I need to buy a van (electrician)
What would you recommend?
Are you thinking about your C-Corp qualifying for a loan or do you plan to have your C-Corp loan you money?
Hello Clint Your information is valuable. I will be touching base with you very soon.
Please do. Reach out to my team aba.link/e2v
If you have an S-corp and pay yourself and your spouse W2s, underwriters still need the businesses information? They don’t just look at the provable income?
Great info!
Thanks for watching!
Are you using ScreenFlow (and a tablet) or similar when you project your tablet for writing? Thanks!
I use an IPAd with a program call Flow by Moleskin.

QUESTION.REAL ESTATE INVESTOR INC OR C CORP WHICH IS BETTER WAY OR YOUR ADVICE ?
Great question, to assist you further, I highly recommend you request a free 45-minute consultation to discuss this with my team so we can provide you with an answer that is unique to your situation. Visit: aba.link/e2v
Starting a smog test only shop in California, startup cost is 35-40k and currently work for my boss making 55k a year. Growth is a medium factor since I will only offer one service, location is gold for the only shop being around the city, and new equipment is needed only every 10 years at a low cost under 8k. I do have plans to use my business to buy real estate or start a second small business. Sounds like Inc and c Corp is the right move for me?
That is what I would look at forming based on the info you provided. If you would like a FREE 30-minute consultation, you can request one here

So, I gather this is an indicator that a c-corp, regardless if you're a start-up or a long-standing big hitter. It sounds safer and more beneficial due to it being a separate entity and its tax benefits?
The C-Corp gets audited, not you. The C-Corp gets taxed, not you, and the C-Corp being a separate entity, and you being the employee, makes it safer?
Question's:
1. If you start a C-Corp, who is the owner if it is its own entity?
2. Does a C-Corp have to be reported for Child Support reviews or just your income made as a paid employer?
1. You would be the owner if it is your company
2. Not the corporation but any funds you receive will be reported.
Do both S and C corp able to deduct capital losses , pay self salary and set up for health insurance as employee, deduct home office as an expense and educational expanse? Does gov looks at initial capital investment when setting up as S vs C corp even though the expected return will be small when you started out ie trading business? Would addition 1099 as a contract worker affect your decision( which may not be permanent?)

can a company filed with IRS to be treated as "S" Corp to amend its status to "C" Corp?
Hey Clint… So who do you make the owner of the Inc? A Wyoming LLC?
Generally through a disregarded SMLLC
Yay some useful information about the C corp stuff vs what the internet says.
Is it possible to have a LLC partnership where one member (C corp) takes all the taxes and the second member (Disregarded) able to withdrawal/deposit any money in the business?
Obviously not. Tax fraud all the way.
What you are referring to are "special allocations". Special allocations in a partnership work by allowing the allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit in a manner that differs from a partner's liquidation value percentage in a particular taxable year. These allocations are determined by the partnership agreement and must have substantial economic effect and not be used to avoid or evade Federal income tax.
Thank you!

looking into building a home on a lot with 3 partners. we own the lot already. do you recommend creating an LLC with each party being an officer/member?
What do you plan to do with the property after construction?
@@ClintCoons rent for few years and then sell
I thought you can keep $ in an S-Corp and not pay any taxes if you don’t ask a salary or distribution on that portion .. ??
No the corporation will pay taxes
For #4, can I just form a brand new Inc. that buys the LLC, then sell the Inc. and get the first $10m tax free? I presume that if the Inc. bought the LLC that would be a taxable event to the LLC, so I imagine that if this is in fact doable, it's advisable to do in the beginning when the LLC is not worth much.

I have a question. A friend of mine has had a logistics business for several years. I decided to go in as an investor. I’m sure I did this absolutely the wrong way, but I ran up my wife’s credit card and my credit cards to purchase a trailer and I put 20,000 down on an 18 wheeler and financed the other 27. we started in June and haven’t seen a profit and I did this as an LLC formation. I want to get the most tax benefit out of this when the time comes my wife and I both work regular jobs. Even though we are not profiting we do not want to sell, you want to keep the business and hopefully at least get a huge tax benefit off of depreciation and hopefully against the startup money which is at 40 K. Should I change the formation? Should I get something in addition to the LLC? Please help I didn’t realize how clueless we were, that was pretty clueless to run up our credit cards like that. We do want to own a home in the future because we currently rent right now because we haven’t been able to pay off the credit cards because we haven’t seen a profit or credit is currently not doing great.

Hi, To be a partner in an S corp, you must be a resident or citizen. My question is whether a person under temporary protected status could be part of the company?
Sorry this one is outside of my lane.
And there's some benefits for C corp when expensing certain benefits .
Yes on the fringe benefit side such as medical reimbursements.
how about Ecommerce business ? do we need set up a LLC ? thank you Clint
Yes, that would be the recommended strategy. Most likely treated as an S-Corp for tax purposes.
I talked to your team , they told me there is little risk running ecommerce business , therefore no need set up an LLC. I am confused , maybe you can do a video to give some deeper understanding why Ecoomerce should set up an LLC thank you
What if you started as an LLC taxed as an S and then convert to a C corp? Both Inc and tax status.
Yes you can convert but you must do so at the first of the year.
LLC vs S corp: isn't this kind of a moot point? We are an LLC with S corp "treatment" with IRS.
Is there a case to be an S corp instead? Or is there even an option in some states?
No that is my point. The S-Corp versus LLC is not even a consideration because the S-Corp is a tax status and the LLC is an entity type.
@@ClintCoons Thanks. Guess I was lazy in not listening to the whole video LOL.
Clint, I am currently a W2 employee as a contractor to a government entity who is wanting to change me to a 1099 contractor next month. I make 166K. I do not have any startup expenses to speak of but I do want to avoid self employment taxes. I also want to retire in 3 years. What works best for me?
Probably an LLC treated as an S-corp with a solo 401k.
So, can I sell my S Corp to my new C Corp? What happens to the vehicles that are currently being depreciated over 5 years? What is the best structure for trucking company if I'm planning to rent my own equipment to owner operators and want to limit my liability for their actions? Should I do my trucking operations under C Corp and what would be better to have my trucks/trailers titled under? I've heard from some people from Delaware that it's better to create multiple LLCs under that C Corp and to have equipment titled under those LLCs in groups of five or something. But I wonder how they can't come after my C Corp's LLCs if they owned by it?
Whoa. Do you have any bonding requirements that require you have a minimum level of assets in your company?
@@ClintCoons No
@@waltmiller You would not want to sell an S-Corp to a C-Corp. 2 options here 1. Set up a new C-Corp to run the business and have the existing S-Corp lease the vehicles to the new C-Corp. 2. Convert the S to a C for federal tax purposes. Before you proceed with either option discuss the tax ramifications with your CPA
@ClintCoons Thank you. I'm just concerned about tax event in case of conversion.
I would like to speak with you about setting up a business.

I wanted to ask, I plan on opening investment firms, where raise funds to invest in diverse businesses. And want to include every investor in the entity, but they don't manage anything I do the investment but I wanted them to be included formally in the entity, which is better Corp(C) or LLC, and it easy to meet requirents for C corp since I am the only one who manages it.
Typically an LLC is used in this type of structure.
@@ClintCoons thanks buddy that's very helpfull
Teacher,
I HAVE A LAWNCARE BIZ, D.B.A, for 2YRSnow. IM READY TO TRANSITION...
IVE ALSO INHERITED LAND FROM my FATHER which PASSED ON. WHICH DIRECTION SHOULD I TAKE with my structure?
I HAVE CLIENTELE AND WOULD LIKE TO HIRE a few neighbors as EMPLOYEES. ALSO, SOME OF THE CUSTOMERS WOULD LIKE TO SELL THERE PROPERTY OVER TO ME in the neighborhood. IM INTERESTED IN setting up for future growth. What should I structure like?
INC AND C CORP?
LLC as S-Corp for biz and a separate LLC for the real estate but it is best if you set up a consult to look at your situation in detail. If you would like a FREE 30-minute consultation, you can request one here

thank you.
Um… You can only avoid tax on first $10M of an Inc/C Corp sale if you’ve had interest in the company for a period of 5 years or longer… Why wasn’t this mentioned ?? PLUS… it’s not “money in your pocket” because then the $ gets distributed to you as the shareholder and that’s a taxable event… So if you haven’t owned the S Corp for at least 5 years and you sell, you don’t get the no corporate tax on first $10M benefit, AND then you get hit with double taxation when the corporation sale gets distributed to you as the shareholder. With an S Corp., you don’t have to face any of these issues… All of it passes through to you on an individual level and you just pay a capital gains tax. So Clint, please tell me how a C Corp could possibly be beneficial to the vast majority of people who won’t even meet the requirements to qualify for the C Corp’s benefits?
The 1202 QSBS exclusion avoids taxation because it involves a stock sale rather than an asset sale, which means no dividends are distributed to shareholders. In contrast, with an S-Corp, you cannot exclude the gain on the sale. If the transaction is structured as an asset sale, then double taxation does occur as you mentioned. I favor using C-Corps because they separate business activities from my personal tax returns (Form 1040). As an investor utilizing financing, I prefer that underwriters do not have access to my business taxes, profit and loss statements, or balance sheets.
@@ClintCoons Understood. But is it still true that you have to hold the C-Corp for 5 years in order to benefit from the no-tax on the first $10M?
@@activemusickid Yes that is correct.
2:15 you said you paid $15K for FIC tax with $85K left then to$65K , how you reduced another $20K?
Income tax on the 85k
