    Thank you for explaining so many different things so well. Is there by chance a video that may go into greater detail on the estimated taxes you mention to put money aside for when trying to figure out if you can pay yourself. There was also a mention of quarterly taxes? I am on the bubble of being able to pay myself but am not too sure about if I write myself a check do I deduct from that check what would be for estimated taxes? Or is there another strategy for that?

    Hey Sherman, phenomenal video and thank you for putting this video content on there. I'm curious about the S Corp, does this mean that I made a mistake opening my business as an LLC? That for tax purposes I should have opened an S Corp instead? And if so, I see other folks also mention that there's ways to operate as an LLC but have a "S-Corp" hold this company so you can stay with the flat 21% tax rate

    Can you do one for multi member LLC? Esp for one member who lives in a different state. I need more info on if 1. Estimated quarterly taxes should be paid on the 1065 or thr personal 1040. 2. Do I pay estimated taxes to the state where the LLC is or where I reside? 3. It's hard to figure if you make money the first year. Which makes it hard to estimate what you pay

Would this be were you are able to deduct say $5000 in startup costs comes from?
