    Bad C corp tax example. If you pay yourself W2 wages, those are expenses for the C corp, so they reduce the C corp income. The double taxation for C corps is generally via dividends which, if qualified, may be taxed on your personal income at a lower rate than "active" income. If all of your S corp income is "active", there's very little net difference between the C corp and S corp taxation structures. The S corp shines for non-active (captial gain) income which can be taxed (only once) at the long term capital gains rate (if these non-active profits are taken out at least a year after the capital is added to the LLC).

Please someone answer that question...thanks! In my S-corp. business I do deduct all W-2 expenses including the matching social security expenses, and SUTA and FUTA tax as a regular business deduction. Any profit on the S corp is reported on a K-1, then gets reported on the Schedule 5 for Supplemental income which in turn is reported on Form1040. I'm never double taxes an an S corp owner.

    When I first started my business it was a sole proprietorship. I applied for an EIN number to pay sale taxes. I just switched over to an LLC. I applied for a new EIN number for the same company. How do I cancel or get rid of the old EIN number?

    • @vgsdomingo1
      @vgsdomingo1 ปีที่แล้ว

      You don't.
      The IRS cannot cancel your EIN. Once an EIN has been assigned to a business entity, it becomes the permanent Federal taxpayer identification number for that entity. Regardless of whether the EIN is ever used to file Federal tax returns, the EIN is never reused or reassigned to another business entity. The EIN will still belong to the business entity and can be used at a later date, should the need arise.
      If you receive an EIN but later determine you do not need the number (the new business never started up, for example), the IRS can close your business account.

  • @tvancleve
    @tvancleve 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    You were doing good up until the example of double taxation. A c corporation would be able to deduct the wages it pays to its owner, in most cases, and therefore the C Corp would only pay taxes on $60,000. If you had used the dividend as an example, then you would have been spot on.

    • @DrMathOfficial
      @DrMathOfficial 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      What do you mean a c corp would only pay taxes up to 60,000? So what the c corp pays you (the owner) pays taxes only up to 60,000? And then all money paid to you beyond that is not taxed/ no taxes are taken from it?

    • @lonnylynn2409
      @lonnylynn2409 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah Doc, I’m lost on that too. Thought the owner got 50,000 out of 100,000. I think money taken out prior to taxes would help except when paying employment tax of up to 40% and C Corp needed to pay health and welfare?

    Tax write-offs aren't an advantage (of an LLC)---you can do all the described organization as a sole proprieter (SP). Ditto Pass-through Tax Deductions. And SP's are the easiest to set up---just file a Schedule C. Really, the two main advantages of an LLC are (1) it's harder for people to sue you, and (2) you may be able to convert income to long-term capital gains (if business profits exceed the reasonable wage you need to pay yourself for active work).
