I have been reading, reading,discussing, reading,and discussing incorporating my business(es). Main reason is reduce overall liabilty. Secondary is to hopefully reduce tax liability
A discussion with an accountant,as well as a family member who does it, leads me to believe that I can save some $$ overall by becoming an "S" Corp. Taking a 'reasonable' salary will still leave $$ left over to be disbursed, which wont be subject to SS and Medicare...roughly a 15% tax savings.
Just today it hit me....cant an LLC choose to be taxed as an S Corp?If so, what would be the advantages of one over the other? Seems to me the LLC has less involved paperwork and I could still reap the aforementioned benefit of tax savings.
What am I missing? MY appt with said accountant isnt for another week so I'm trying to get my info organized
Thanks
