I have W2 Income in excess of 100K annually and my wife's W2 income is 36K. We file jointly. My LLC was formed for side work I do related to my full time career and now is also beginning to earn commission from my Real Estate Sales work. My earnings from both the moonlighting and the broker i put my real estate sales through are reported on 1099 but not directly to my LLC. The 1099 are in my name. Struggling to understand how that will impact our tax filings and whether or not to move the LLC to C-Corp tax status as profits continue to grow. No plans to stop working my primary job (W2 Income)

Thank you for the clear videos and diagrams. You've been answering all my questions!

Great content Navi. I wish I had seen this a few week ago, which could have saved me valuable time, confusion, and frustration. Now it is getting clear. Thanks Navi once again.

Hi Navi, this is a great video. I noticed you divided the profit between salary and K-1 share as 40% and 60%, respectively. Is there a particular reason for such percentages?

Navi - Do you also help with setting up Trusts/ Holding companies?

Navi, silly question- can the business account and personal account be with the same bank? Or do they have to be separate for liability purposes? Thanks!

If I take a "distribution" is this the same thing as just cashing out? Like the $60k distribution in this example, it's the same as me putting it into my personal checking account tax free right?

Hello, My SMLLC Fon non us resident is by default a sole proprietor by IRS, which means there is no protection. I wanted to be taxed as disregarded entity separated from the owner to get that protection. Should I fill 8832 myself or I need someone to do it for me?

Thank you so much for the great info! Would you recommend creating a specific business checking account when forming a SMLLC? Or can I just use one of my existing checking accounts as a “business account” and my other checking account as my personal account?

I recommend using a separate business account - actually recommend may be to weak of a word. You really should have a separate account….not just for tax but for legal considerations as well.

Hi Navi, do you have free excel payroll format , can you please share it with everyone. im a amazon seller and i want to do my own payroll but i dont know how to start with my excel sheet.

thank you sir, I been learning so much from you and think I been making some mistakes that no one suggested me not to do those mistakes. Quick question sir! I have a business LLC and 3 members including me in it. so my question is are we being taxed as the second thing you mentioned? because I am planing to keep it down to single member LLC and i think i am making mistakes right?

Sounds like you created a Multi Member LLC, and by default, a MMLLC is taxed as a Partnership. Paying yourself and the other partners in a Partnership is the same as paying yourself in a sole proprietorship which is the 1st way I mention in this video.

How do I pay myself when my LLC is a member of my Limited Partnership (LP) along with myself, my wife and another LLC as General Partner?

Thank you. This is very informative. I do have some questions. Briefly, I'm a single member LLC. Anyway back to my questions. One, why would I form an S Corp if I can file a form with the IRS to be taxed as an S Corp? Two, if I start a real state company with only myself as the member, should I just choose an LLC instead of an S Corp? Three, what's the process and how simple is it to change my LLC to be an S Corp? Four, Is it too late to go back to the IRS and say, " I made a mistake and should have filed as an S Corp" lol

Good

Hi Navi, I'm working for an IT Service Company Full-time, if I start a LLC and do IT Consulting Business, will this be moonlighting ?

Hi Navi. So if I have a LLC, and I chose to be taxed as an S Corp. Its mean I need to pay myself an reasonable salary. So can I pay myself in form of 1099-NEC? or it has to be W2?

curious if you are paying yourself a salary and taxes are being taken out as an employee, why do you also have to pay 15.3% SE tax or is that the payroll tax?

what if i do construction and i have a newly formed LLC S Corp. If i were to get laid off can i still collect unemployment through my construction job?

I use a payroll service and just use contractors payment instead of employee

@NaviMarajCPA

You're using a payroll service and are paying yourself as a contractor instead of an employee? So you receive a 1099 instead of a W2? That is incorrect. If you're performing services to the S Corporation then you need to be on payroll. If you are a sole proprietorship, you are not an employee or a contractor, so you should not receive a W2 or 1099.

How many times can you make a k1 distribution?

@NaviMarajCPA

Жыл бұрын

There is a technical answer to this but, without knowing any context, and assuming you’re talking about taking distributions for an S Corp, you can do it as many times as you want but I’d recommend not doing it more than once per month.

What about the corporate tax of 21%, form 1120S? SMLLC has to pay that when formed as S Corp?

@NaviMarajCPA

Жыл бұрын

21% tax you are referring to is for C Corporations, not S Corporations.

A few questions... if you are an employee of your S corp, you're an independent contractor - 1099 not W2, correct? Then, are you paying double tax - income tax on your business profits and then income tax on the paycheck you pay yourself as an employee? I've been watching multiple videos to keep this straight, but may be getting confused here. Thanks for any clarification :)

Hey Gabrielle….I recently put out a video entitled, “Do you get a tax deduction for paying yourself?” Watch that video and let me know if you still have questions. I think it will clear things up for you.

Good education. Thanks But if in the same example. 2 people owned this business and want to file tax as an S corp. would it be the same? Thanks

I'm not sure I have enough information to answer your questions. If you formed a MMLLC and elected to have it taxed as an S Corporation, and assuming both members are providing services and are active in the business....it would be similar to what is covered in this video.

Is Distribution = Dividend?

@NaviMarajCPA

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Zeeshan. Technically the term would be “non-dividend distribution” for an S corporation. It’s beyond the scope of this video but it is possible for an S Corp to make a “dividend distribution”. This occurs when the shareholder takes a distribution in excess of basis.

How may I contact you ?

So wouldn’t you want to maximize ur k-1 distribution and pay urself less so you maximize ur tax obligation? Can’t you just take a 0 salary?

@NaviMarajCPA

IRS requires you to take "reasonable compensation". You can Google that term and you'll begin to understand why you don't want to take a $0.00 salary ESPECIALLY when you're taking distributions.

Hi Navi, if I change over my LLC to an S-Corp tax structure from a SP tax structure beginning in 2023, will whatever that distribution amount is, that’s free of the 15.3%, will it be subject to any other state/fed taxes or fees?
