You should file for an S-Corp. It provides the same tax benefits as the LLC and the liability protection but helps you save on self-employment taxes which equals 15.3%. If you feel like talking directly, just let me know. You can look me

I think I'm having a difficult time understanding your logic. An S-Corporation is a passthrough tax entity that doesn't pay tax on a corporate level. The income is paid on the 1040 tax return with a K1. Thus, I don't see how the S-Corp w

I'm a tax accountant and I can give you some insight into the tax aspect of the equation. 1. I don't think that an LLC is the correct legal entity you should be considering for your consulting arm because of self-employment tax. Many peopl

I'd be willing to pitch in but I'm definitely one the non-technical type. I know basic html and css, learning php but nowhere near a point where its considered usable. My skills would probably be related to the "biz" lol. My background is

I think it works great for what it is a database of photos and random stuff in general. But, I don't think that it's an effective use of time and it's being used currently mostly for stalking friends and whatnot. Which is fine, but the main

I agree, I think that this is a system or application that fb is trying to use to expand its user base and make fb an "integral part of the internet" instead of just another friendster and myspace type of platform. But, realistically I don'

Hey ars, well the best way to explain the concept is to think about how you are taxed on dividends. When you buy stock in Google and receive dividends, you would pay tax on that income on your 1040, but it would not be taxed as a "self-emp

I think that was probably the smart decision. Learning on your own and then paying an accountant to review your conclusions is very cost effective and it'll definitely pay-off in the long term. If you ever have a question, feel free to sh

I agree that income is a complicated issue when it comes to tax and that hiring an accountant would be helpful. But, as an accountant I also think that a little reading could probably be just as good often times since 90% of the issues I se

If you create an S-Corp then you wouldn't pay corporate tax since an S-Corporation is a passthrough entity. Legally you are protected and tax-wise you only pay on the 1040, but you avoid SE Tax. I could point you to a number of resources t

Hey guys. Sorry for the slow reply. Thanks Cullen King for the shoutout. I'm traveling to meet a client so I wasn't able to check HN as often as I usually do. I'll email him shortly later today to offer my help directly. But I'll post a few

Regardless of whether they repeal this portion of the Obamacare bill won't make a difference. Practically, the IRS is ill equipped to handle the flood of 1099s of taxpayers actually obey the letter of the law. lol. The only way they could

Hey eduardo, We'll first, I would suggest you be very careful when you graduate and attempt to get a job in the US. Once, you get an H1 visa, its illegal for you to work for anyone other than the company that applied for your H1 As for non

Well income tax wise you'd have to pay taxes on the income regardless of where it's coming from. If there is a country that is under embargo (which I don't know haha) then you're keeping all of the income. Thus, you would have to pay tax on
