      Why not just create an LLC with a 2553 election? The election means the entity is treated as an S-Corp for tax purposes, but has more flexibility in other areas.

  • @tennett91

    Great video and explanation between the different structures.
    The LLC and S-Corp tax calculations aren't correct though. QBI (20%) is calculated on the business net income (92.35% of LLC net income and 100% of S-Corp income) directly, not after the standard or itemized deduction. Self employment tax is calculated at 15.3% of 92.35% of business net income, not on net income minus standard deduction, minus QBI. The 92.35% represents the difference for 7.65% (half) of self-employment tax. The LLC calculation for SE tax would be $14,130 ($100,000 x 92.35% x 15.3%). The federal tax would be calculated from $100,000 less standard deduction of $12,550 less half of SE tax of $7,065 less QBI deduction of $16,077 (The lower of 20% of 92.35% of $100,000 or 20% of taxable income before QBI deduction which is $80,385) for a taxable income of $64,308. The federal tax due on $64,308 is $9,900 plus SE tax of $14,130 for a total of $24,030.
    Regarding the S-Corp calculation, you treated the owner wages ($35,000) and business net income ($65,000) as they were each on their own tax return when calculating the tax due. The tax calculation and brackets should be based off of $100k of income as a whole. $35,000 in wages at 15.3% is your self employment tax. $62,323 is now your S-Corp profit after expensing owner salary and the employer portion of the SE tax. QBI is calculated at 20% of the $62,323. The taxable income would be $97,323 less standard deduction of $12,550 less QBI deduction of $12,465 (20% of $62,323) for a total of taxable income of $72,308. The federal tax due on $72,308 is $11,660. Add in the SE tax paid through payroll of $5,355 and you end up with a total tax of $17,015.
    In this scenario, the direct federal tax benefit of the S-Corp vs. the LLC would be $7,015 ($24,030 - $17,015). This is not considering higher tax prep fees, payroll processing fees, and state payroll taxes for the S-Corp. However, I wouldn't always advise clients to take only 35% of profits as salary. This is highly dependent on the industry, scope of the work being performed, and the amount of time that is spent on the business. The IRS has a different definition of "reasonable salary" than that of the EDD of California. If there is an IRS audit and they determine the salary paid to the owner is not reasonable, a portion or all of the remaining profit could be reclassified and subject to SE tax as well, along with interest and possible penalties.
    Anyway, I love what you're doing and I think a lot of new business owners can gain a great deal of knowledge from your channel. This is by far my longest ever CZcams comment, and I could have definitely spent this past hour in a much more efficient way.

    @NeverStopTRK Před rokem +28

    The title and the video are misleading. What you do is you form an LLC and then you elect to file your taxes as an S-Corp with IRS. Simple as that. I have been doing that for the last 20 years and it has nothing to do with the year 2020. You can't just "open up an S-Corp" without having a company first. If you are going to be giving legal advice on YT, better make sure you know what you are talking about. One more thing, S-Corp is not "a kind of company." It's just a special treatment you get from the IRS when filling the taxes. It has NO POWER or ANY relevance when it comes to your state, state taxes, lawsuits or company protection. The bigest reason people elect LLCs is for personal protection and what you are doing here is telling people they should not have that, because "they might save some money from the IRS."

    @ScottMStolz Před 2 lety +28

    If you already have an LLC, you can opt to be taxed as an S-Corp or C-Corp instead of a pass-thru entity by filing some paperwork with the IRS. If you do not fill out that paperwork, your LLC is treated as a pass-thru entity. So an LLC does not have to be a pass-thru entity if you and your tax advisor decide that is the best course of action.

    • @researcher4good
      @researcher4good Před rokem +8

      Exactly. An LLC can elect to be taxed as an S-Corp and a yearly one page report to the Secretary of State is all that's needed. You don't have to pretend to have a board of directors or Meetings. This guy looks the part but this is a huge omission.

    • @ScottMStolz
      @ScottMStolz Před rokem +4

      @@researcher4good True. The LLC only has to follow the requirements in the Operating Agreement and state law concerning LLCs. So there still needs to be documentation of major decisions by the member(s) or the manager(s), and contracts and such need to be in the name of the LLC, not the owners. So LLC formalities must be followed instead of corporation formalities, if it's an LLC.

Not only did you explain it, you also made it simple enough for most anyone to grasp at least 90% of everything, and they have the option to look at the lesson again to get the other 10%.

    Great job making this video! I believe under S-corp the net biz income would be slightly lower than 65k because you can deduct employer portion of FICA and UI tax. Also, I wish you explained LLC is a disregarded entity by IRS. LLC owners have an option to choose to be taxed as sole proprietorship(single member llc), partnership, or an s-corp. There's no LLC tax form per se.

      I'm not an accountant but it depends on what kind of business you have and what kind of profits it produces. It also depends on how your state recognizes it or not as an S-Corp. I'd suggest consulting a local CPA in your area or going on Google for the information of the state you live in.

    Great overview of the differences between LLC, S-Corp and C-Corp. Per Scott Tennett's clarification below, the math was slightly off, but only slightly. Your analysis and explanation are still valid. I'd add that even LLC doesn't make sense in California if you're not making enough that the $800/year minimum LLC tax isn't a burden because the liability shield from LLC is pretty thin :) But this is a great, very useful and very thorough explanation that's really valuable for any small business owner.

    Karlton Dennis, thank you for being willing to share this information with new entrepreneurs who are seeking to learn. For a single-member LLC or Corporation that has filed form 2553 (Sub-Chapter S) for corporate taxes then your video is correct. However, your C-Corp aspect of the federal tax rate of 21% (Is the max rate) none of us who own C-Corp ever pay that rate. As a Director of a listed Corporation on the SEC, once a new year I reach out to small business consults like yourself on CZcams and share that they are wrong on a C-Corporation tax rate. Our margin tax rate is never more than 2% to 9% percent each tax year. The 21% Corporate Federal Tax Rate is for those CPAs or tax consultants who are not informed on the other 10 -15 tax ductions that only Sub-Chapter C received from the IRS). Also, C-Corporation is only doubled taxed when they payout dividends to shareholders, yet we would rather pay Capital Returns that are not taxable under IRS rules. It is important to know that Sub-Chapter C does pay the least tax out of all the Legal Entities. (Again, if the CPA or Tax Account are not educated then the entrepreneur has to be) ALL FEDERAL STIMULUS PASSED BY CONGRESS IS DESIGNED FOR C-CORPORATIONS! Remind your clients that U.S. Presidents don't seek LLC or Sub-Chapter S for GDP growth! Be blessed and thank you again for teaching new entrepreneurs. Jonathan Primo Fuego Galicia, CFO
