LLC pays income tax as a sole proprietor. An LLC isn't good for taxes, it is only good as a vehicle for keeping you and your business seperated.
I was once a van shuttle driver. I got sued because my partner got into an accident. Had we setup the business as an LLC I wouldn't have been sued by the customers. Just the business would have. By the grace of God, the judge decided to remove me from the list of defendants. My partner had to take out a second mortgage to pay off the damages from the suit.
As for taxes, if you are alone, taxes are filed on your 1040, if a partner or several, file a Schedule K to break up the income of the business, then each of you files your own 1040 based on what the Schedule K left you. -

The only corp that is going to save you money is a C Corp.
Sole proprietors, File Shedule C (profit and loss) (the business side of your taxes) then take the income and add it to your 1040 gross income.
Partnership, 1065 and Schedule K for the business, then all profits are split among partners to go on their 1040's as gross income.
S Corp, 1120S Similar to 1065/S-K deal, then give profits to shareholders (partners) to add to their 1040 gross income.
LLC, If 1 member, treated as sole proprietor, 2 or more, treat as a partnership. Same forms.
C Corp, The only non-passthru entity. It will pay its own taxes. Form 1120 or 1120-A.
A C-Corp is going to get taxed less than you would have. So you can deduct all the crap, pay yourself, and then it gets taxed on what is left. Most people leave money in the C Corp that they aren't going to use, this means it gets taxed at the C-Corp rate at not at the personal rate. C-Corp's can also pay their employees with tax-free fringe benefits. Like health insurance, 401K, movie tickets.. etc...
But if you are the only one in the corp (except for the 'friend' who is the other shareholder), and you give yourself benefits, prepare for the IRS to fuck you dry and call you an S-Corp because you are acting like one.Comment

LLC and S-Corp are two different things - you definitely need to talk to a CPA - you also have to file with the IRS to get your corporation treated as either a LLC or a S-Corp depending on what you choose when you file the SS-4 - you can also go back and change it if needed. How you get taxed also depends a heck of a lot dependant on how you take money out, or if you do at all, whether you pay salaries, whether you take personal money out etc. One year (one of my companies was a LLC Partnership classification) I had things set up wrong and ended up owing $30k extra just because I had the corp paying out incorrectly.Comment

care to explain this more? As to what you were doing wrong when paying out of your corp. can I hit up up on icq or email?Originally posted by LinksterComment

Sosa - I was taking draws on the company but as an LLC (my accountant tried to explain this to me LOL) you are taxed as if it were personal income.
As a S-corp you can evidently do some swapping of the money without considering it personal income and still use your normal biz expenses to offset the income. Where I messed up is that since it was being considered personal income I should have done quarterly estimated taxes - since I didnt have enough personal exemptions and deductions to offset it. If I had been paying myself as an employee of a S-Corp then I could have kept it as biz expenses and written against itLast edited by Linkster; 07-26-2005, 06:20 AM.Comment

Not true. You don't save money incorporating in NV if you're an S corp unless you personally live in NV. A C corp will save money though.Originally posted by venus
Every situation is different. Find a good CPA/Tax attorney before making decisions that affect your bottom line. My CPA saved me about $20K in taxes the first year I hired him. They are worth it

Ahh ok sounds good then. I have a S-corp and just pay myself a monthly salary. I then have to pay taxes on that salary just like income from a normal job. Then the corp pays taxes for like unemployment and shit. Just 1 person s-corp for me. I'm gonna talk to a few different CPA's and get their input on a few other ways I can cut my tax paying down.Originally posted by LinksterComment
