    Excellently broken-down! Thanks for making this so much easier to understand. It's also good to know you can start as an LLC and then move to an S-Corp with the right forms. I'm just starting this self-employed journey, so I hope an S-Corp will make sense in the not too distant future!

    Well done presentation. I would just offer you left out a critical piece about S-corps and qualified shareholders. Your list mentions US residents, but you forgot to mention that businesses (C-corp, S-corp-, partnerships) cannot be a shareholder in an S-corp, otherwise it automatically revokes the S status. Only US "individuals" and certain types of trusts can be shareholders in an S-corp.
    Very nice job mentioning the unreasonable compensation issue for S-corp owners. An often overlooked exposure area of taxes.

    You need to quickly clarify a few things. A Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) or a Corporation is a designation based on the state where you register your business. Being a C-Corp or an S-Corp is an IRS designation. A state registered LLC can have a C-Corp or an S-Corp designation with the IRS. Stating that you choose between an LLC and an S-Corp is very misleading and incorrect.
