Single-member LLCs are disregarded for tax unless you elect otherwise.   They give liability separation but the IRS treats the income as yours. Multi-member LLCs file partnership returns by default. Confirm both sides with a lawyer and CPA. Reply with your current entity.   amazon.com/dp/B076VXL8TS #SelfEmployed #LLC

Asking if you need a suit already answered the question.   He called to schedule. I said yes, wear one. That was the last conversation we had. If you have to ask, you already showed me how you think about the job.   Tell me I’m wrong.   amazon.com/dp/B01F4CIR3K

Corporations require board formalities that many first-time founders skip.   Missed minutes or improper distributions can erase limited liability. LLCs are lighter but still need an operating agreement. Confirm the choice with a lawyer and CPA. Say what you would file tomorrow.   amazon.com/dp/B076VXL8TS #SideHustle #BusinessStructure

S-corp election can cut self-employment tax once profit hits a certain level. Sole props and partnerships pay SE tax on all profit. S-corps let you take a reasonable salary and distributions. Confirm the numbers with a CPA and lawyer. Reply A for sole prop or B for S-corp election. amazon.com/dp/B076VXL8TS #TaxTips #Entrepreneurs

We will finally have oral argument today in the Trump criminal case. Judge Juan Merchan committed a series of fatal flaws in the trial. jonathanturley.org/2025/01/1… Not only was the legal theory of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg absurd, but Merchan compounded the reversible issues with a series of equally absurd rulings, including allowing a non-unanimous verdict on the underlying criminal conduct...

Partnerships without a written agreement default to equal splits and full personal liability.   One partner’s bad decision can hit everyone’s personal finances. Draft the agreement before any money moves. Confirm the plan with a lawyer and CPA. Say whether you’d file as a partnership or LLC tomorrow.   amazon.com/dp/B076VXL8TS #Startups #BusinessLaw

S-corp election can cut self-employment tax. But you need reasonable salary and more paperwork. Not automatic with LLC. C-corp faces double tax on profits. Sole prop is simplest. Talk to lawyer or CPA before choosing. Reply with what you would file tomorrow. amazon.com/dp/B076VXL8TS #SCorp #BusinessTax
