The Corporation cannot directly reimburse individuals for expenses they incur; instead, it must cover these costs as part of its employees' expenses. Your video didn’t address this aspect, which is important. The company needs to process payroll and ensure it pays reasonable wages to employee, and then write off the expenses mentioned in your video.

Clint, are there any tax benefits/legal structures that would be available when trading a retirement account?

@doublehd159 Месяц назад

It seems the Augusta rule is really the key driver of tax savings here if I'm doing my calculations correctly. If you aren't a homeowner, do you still think going through this structure makes sense? (additional layers, LLC fees, etc) If you live in CA for example, you also still need to pay a 8.84% state income tax on top of the 21% federal income tax right? That takes away some of the tax savings that otherwise would have been achievable as well... Maybe I'm missing some other tax savings considerations as well but I'm not a tax expert.

@tommytracey 6 месяцев назад

@@ClintCoonsSo, given your reply above, should both LLCs be setup as NAICS Code 541611 Management Services? If not, what are the appropriate NAICS codes to use for the orange and blue boxes respectively? The orange box being the trading business LLC taxed as a C-Corp. The blue box being the LLC partnership which holds the brokerage accounts. My concern here is that certain NAICS codes may require special licenses. For example, if the orange box is setup as a "Portfolio Management" entity (NAICS code 523920 which sits under "Finance and Insurance"), then you need to be a certified portfolio manager. This seems like a non-starter. Btw, your videos are fantastic. Thank you so much. I’m definitely going to checkout one of your seminars.

@ericlee1576 6 месяцев назад

Since the trading accts are now under an LLC vs an individual is another effect of moving to this structure that you will have be treated as a commercial acct by your broker and probably incur higher fees on mkt data etc? Not saying this is a deal breaker, but sounds like additional cost. Anyway around that?

@ClintCoons 6 месяцев назад

Depends on your account value. Typically if you are above 250k they waive the fee. If not, we set up a personal property trust to hold the account and have the PPT owned by the LLC.

@_Thoughtful_Aquarius_ 6 месяцев назад

Hey Clint, thanks again for the video.

@paulius3510 6 месяцев назад

Hello. Maybe you can point me in the right direction a little bit. I live in Iceland, I trade on the US stock exchange. The next step is to get pro status from the broker. Continue to establish a company and transfer capital to the name of the company. Capital about $250k. Is it realistic to go to the bank and ask for a loan to develop a real estate business using company capital for the initial investment, which is working capital on the stock exchange. Not to mention the small details, of which there are many. But the principle itself is possible like this?

Quick question: would it be possible to have orange box LLC (c-corp with me as sole share holder/officer) be the sole owner of the blue box LLC (s-corp, me as an officer and employee)…….blue box LLC then can pass through income (minus expenses incurred) to orange box LLC which will be taxed as a c-corp (minus any expenses incurred). The reason I ask is I’d like the orange box LLC (c-corp) to eventually own multiple LLC (s-corp) in the future as I build multiple revenue sources. The multiple LLC s-corp being in different industries. Thanks in advance!

If, for example, you want to pay enough salary (as that c-corp’s employee) to max out your 401k and pay benefits (health insurance, HSA, HRA, profit sharing 401k contributions) you’re easily talking about $100k-120k in gross corporate income depending on what you’ve budgeted for expenses.

Anyone is who serious about their trading please do NOT listen to this comment.... This is a comment of a person who is not making money trading. No legit trader would speak against trading in a LLC/ any business entity because your money is really at risk if just trading under personal name. You do not need to be making more than 200k to do this, do this even if you are making 20k trading because you want to get this habit from early. Once you learn how to structure your business not only will you save thousands but also it's not a headache. Yes it will seem crazy getting it setup but once it's setup and you sit down to understand it then it becomes another skill that you learn. The reason I know OP doesn't make money trading is because he is gripping about paying a tax professional a couple thousand even though the professional will end up saving someone 10s of thousands. Either spend the time to learn the structuring yourself and run it by a professional just to make sure you not messing up or pay the professional because in the end, you are protecting the money, learning and saving thousands. Idk who this Clint guy is and not in my interest if anyone uses him for taxes but it just irks me when I see crap comments like these discouraging people of setting up a business for their trading because it is a 10s of thousands dollars decision to make.

I agree unless you really wanted protection of your assets

@@rpicazoabletrue to a point, one can also get an umbrella policy for added protection. It’s fairly cheap. This strategy for trading might be geared more really towards saving in taxes if u don’t need all the profits from trading yet.

How many of your businesses can claim the home office deduction? Also, if you claim home office, can you still rent out your house under the Augusta rule? Thank you.

Use an accountable plan - its better than the home office.

It a scam

Very insightful comment. Would you like to explain what part of the strategy is a "Scam". I am open to other points of view that can be articulated and backed by the IRC or cases.

Then you need to pay 20k/year to Clint's company to be your lawyer and structure all of this and keep the companies legally running, and for Clinton's CPA department to make your taxes, then you are back to the 110k/year you had as an individual and without all this headache hehe.
