This video was VERY helpful! Thanks so much. Everything you mentioned was exactly what I was looking for in my circumstance. I make a fairly decent amount of money at my day job but also have made good money this past year in e-commerce. I've been torn because everyone online is mentioning that an s-corp is the way to go. This confirms a lot of my worries. Thanks again for your time.

much wisdom, I’m a young entrepreneur and I notice the things many people aren’t aware of as I navigate through the business world and how I could have messed this up or overdone that. you said some terms business owners likely overlook. There’s more to just having a business and doing what you “think” is right.. we need the definitions and differences/knowledge between simple words. As entrepreneurs we have to look for this knowledge when not taught! Great video!

Another factor that makes it extremely difficult to determine the advantage of an S-corp in the QBI deduction. Without the S-Corp, all profits could be eligible for the 20% QBI deduction, but the S-corporation will force you to take some of those profits as wages. So you actually pay a higher tax rate on at least some of your income than you would without the S-corp.

I know this video is a couple years old. I have an accountant that recommended me doing S corp. Most of my income comes from what I think of an call passive but still confused as you go over this. I have royalties from designs I have made (print on demand) that I make money on when they sell but other companies do the selling, printing and shipping, I get a royalty. other is commissions from sales from product videos I have made. Again it is on another platform, when someone watching my video and customer buys I get a commission, like affiliate commissions and I get that too. Lots of money coming in from many sources like this.

Great video. Super simple information that a regular person can understand. Ive been in business for 25 years and am getting hit hard on se tax. If I were to "elect to be a s corp" what implications would it have on my situation if I am planning to slowly taper the business down in 5 years. Currently a LLC with 100k in profit. Have business assets (landscape business), Ive read some info on how those assets would have to be treated if electing to be a s corp and that is confusing as to future tax implications

@hollyravel2208 2 года назад

Hi Navi.. So glad to have found this video. You explained things so well.. I do have a single member LLC in FL and my ex-CPA was "pushing" me to elect for S-Corp in 2021 without explaining anything, so I have to file 1120-S for 2021 tax year.. My activity is flipping raw land on the side. And yes I do have a W-2 of +$130k. I did a deal with some profit (not $40k) on the first year of business 2020 but nothing in 2021. I do own two lots: 1 in FL and 1 in NC. Is this activity considered as Passive income by the IRS? Also if there is no profit at all in 2021, will it be mandatory per IRS to "pay myself"? Will there be annual maintenace fee as well? Thanks a lot for your input!

Thank you for the very informative video. I know you mentioned NYC taking extra tax on S - corp but how about NYS?

@NaviMarajCPA 3 года назад

You’re welcome. Your question has an answer that changes depends on different factors that I can’t get into here. In general, know that New York requires S corporations to file a New York S-election form to be considered an S corporation to New York. Additionally, New York S corporations are required to pay the corporate franchise tax based on New York receipts (sales).

@RealNiftyVintage 3 года назад

First, thanks for this. I just started the changeover to an LLC, mainly for SE tax savings, and had second thoughts after watching another channel and their very confusing spreadsheet video with a cost analysis breakdown. This video puts me at ease a bit more... Question about the corporate veil though... I have a 'business' bank account and credit card that is under my DBA name from being a sole proprietor, Do these need to be updated or replaced with the LLC name/EIN or is it enough that they are separate accounts from my personal accounts? The new business classification is the same name with the addition of the LLC extension. Thanks!

@NaviMarajCPA 3 года назад

Hi @Real Nifty Vintage. You're welcome. I'm not an attorney so I can't really comment from a professional legal perspective. That said, I'm almost positive you need to establish new accounts under the LLC name and EIN. Your bank will likely not allow you to just update the existing accounts by adding "LLC" to the end, especially if the EIN has changed. Thanks for watching!

Mr. Maraj I am a Realtor. 3 parts here: 1) The last 5 years I have been taxed to death with an LLC. My accountant NEVER told me about an S-Corp. I paid between 14,000-25,000 each year to the IRS. Mostly the latter. Ughhh 2) I have just moved to another state and will be doing Real Estate as well. I will have to build up my clientele all over again so can I set up an LLC and change and file an S-Corp in a year when I have profits over $40,000? Can you change your filing status from the original? LLC to add S-Corp a subsequent year or vise-versa depending on profits? Toggle between each year-to-year depending on profits? 3) I have been a housewife most of my life so I have NOT paid into SS much except for the last 5 years. Does it make MORE SENSE to continue to be only an LLC without an S-Corp to to ensure my SS for later on in life? I am not married and was not married for 10 years.

@Bormanb23 Год назад

Love your videos thank you so much they are very instructive, I want it to ask you if it makes sense for me to change to s Corp, I'm currently a soul proprietor owner LLC and with earnings of about 450k, thanks so much

@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736 2 года назад

The way I had it broke down to me is as a LLC self employed person, you are considered a share holder, and you do not get a deduction for the money you may distribute to yourself. the 15.3 tax is the 7.65% that you pay for the money you distribute to yourself and the LLC is taxed 7.65%. When it makes sense to switch to an S Corp is when you LLC is making 40K and up to 200K and 300K, the deductions you get as an S Corp pay off. As an S Corp I qualify for a QBI deduction which is 20% deduction on business income I don't pay myself. say the taxable income of the S Corp is 100K and I pay myself a minimum of 30%. The remainder of 70K times the 20% is 14K that I just saved myself for being an S Corp rather than an LLC, so now instead of paying Fed and State on 70K, I'm paying Fed and State tax on 56K. and instead of paying 15.3% on Fica, Fed and State taxes on my 30K I payed myself, I'm paying 7.65%, and my business is not paying any taxes on the 30K I paid myself plus the remainder of the 100k of taxable income from my business not only get to deduct the 30K bringing the taxable net worth of the S Corp to 70K minus the 20% for QBI. Karlton Dennis does a really great job of covering all of the pros and cons of both the LLC and the S Corp and C Corp and when it makes sense to become an S Corp and leave off the LLC business. Anyway, for whoever wants to hear.

@vidagarciav 9 месяцев назад

Can you be my CPA!??! Lol I can't tell you how many videos I've watched in the last on the subject. I have helped back launching my small business because I'm so afraid to elect the wrong business structure. I live in New York and every CPA that I've spoken to keeps telling me I should elect an s-corp but most CPAs on RU-vid on winning against it until you start making enough money to make it worth it. If I'm being honest the S Corp status makes me nervous it sounds like way too much and I'm terrible with numbers or trusting that the CPA's are pushing an S corp to benefit them in that myself. Any thoughts on that? How can I get you to be my CPA?! 😊 Ohhh just finished the video, Ill be contacting you! This is AMAZING info. Thank you!!

What exactly is the objective rubrick to determine if income is passive or not?

@douglaswilson9969 2 года назад

@7:08 you mentioned (under the scenario you gave) "you will lose money if you elect the S corp status because it will pay for the employer portion of Social Security and Medicare taxes." If you maxed out the wage base from your regular job (ex earned 150K that year) and then your S Corp side hustle wage is 50K, will you have to pay the self employment tax on that 50K as part of the individual return? Or will there be a refund from the IRS for any excess withholdings to self employment tax for the employee/member?

Hey Douglas! Watch this video where I go into that topic in depth. It’s entitled “Small Business and W-2 Job | Does LLC or S Corporation still make sense?” Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1kufkdonBEU.html

So for rental income, what do you recommend instead of an S-corp?

I started a mobile iv business a few months ago. I am completely restructured now. Im doing medical weight loss and all virtual. I have my medical director np pharmacy insurance etc. I run ads off fb and reach clients this way. I finally got a finance company to offer financing to patients. My issue is im not sure what to do about llc sole proprietor etc. The finance company is asking for business license and ein and as far as i know i have neither. I havent launched ads uet because im waiting for finance as i feel that will be a HUGE hit and will allow the business to really grow.

What if it’s a holding or management company would it make sense to be taxed as an scorp or become one?

Thanks for the awesome video. If I have a S corp and have profit, Can the single shareowner take loan out of S corp and pay the S corp with reasonable interest each year? By doing that, the shareowner does not need to pay tax on those profit sitting in S corp. Thanks

The loan would not be considered a deductible business expense so the S Corp would still be profitable and you would have to pay federal and state (if applicable) income taxes on the profits.
