    Yea but if you dont take the money out you could keep to grow your business or keep it for slow years to pay the fixed expenses. Also you can control the income you make in your personal taxes. even if its at one year is a C-CORP loss you pay just enuff for obamacare which can be a lot of savings- then carry the CORP loss over for the other years when it makes more money. Also in this example the CAP Gains is zero if you make less than 40K. YOu need to make this video again showing other scenarios where C-CORP makes sense and taking into account multi years with varying income and years C-CORP does not distribute all the income

    That left over money in the c-Corp you should be able to bring that income down to zero by reinvesting it in to another company or other “expenses” isn’t that what Amazon and alphabet does all the profits from one company owned by the C corp goes up and then redistributed to grow other company’s under the umbrella bringing the C corp income to zero

    Can't the C Corp take that $60,000 profit and disburse it as a bonus/commission or profit sharing to it's employees and or owners?

    From what I understand bonuses and commission are taxed as ordinary income so that wouldn’t help you much tax wise and profit sharing is only tax free when the profits are paid into a traditional 401k. If it’s paid out to anyone, it’s income and is subject to all taxes. Not a CPA but I’ve paid bonuses to my employees and even my wife who works at a hospital was taxed on a $30 gift card she got from her work for employee if the month.

    Love the video. I have a question. Would the $40,000 be considered income or the $100,000? Let's say John wants to contribute to a roth IRA but with the revenue the business earns combined with his wife's income, it would exceed the roth ira income limit but it wouldn't if he had a reasonable salary of $40K? Just want to make sure what is actually counted when contributing to a roth IRA.

  • @countthepenny

    Respectfully, I disagree> You are adding the social security and Medicare taxes for Employee which is deducted from the $40K Salary. It is not an additional expense it's baked into the salary. I don't agree with your calculations... You can take distributions up to 40% of the payroll without paying capital gains but there is more to considered regarding what impacts potential capital gains.

    Like others state, if you don’t take the money out the c-corp is saving $14,000. So ~$1000 cheaper than the S-corp.

    This example is a bit off as C corp owners dont have to pay SE tax being an employee so its just ~7.5% employer portion on tje payroll side. If you take flip the example to 60/40 payroll vs dividend and c corp gets 15% rate....and you put in 7.5% savings on payroll + lower marginal rate on dividends+ add in reduced corp tax based on 40k....you have a much narrower gap on net tax owed in c corp. Prob less than 5k on 100k net income. Lets not forget c corps audited less and coming up with a few thousand extra deductions not that hard. My2cents.

    @@NaviMarajCPA Darn. I guess I'll ask here. At what point does it make more tax sense to have a c-corp vs s-corp? Hypothetically, would $500k of w-2 income outside of the c-corp + $100k of medical costs paid through the c-corp + no need for any salary from the c-corp, tip the scales in favor of a c-corp? Thanks Navi!

    @@Steven-vi5nb Team C-CORP bro- just do it The reason is that C-Corporations allow for greater flexibility in terms of separating personal and business expenses. By paying medical costs through the C-Corp, you may be able to deduct those expenses at the corporate level. But C-Corp you still need to pay reasonable compensation thru. Guess you gonna need a CPA to look at your situation.
