When you compare the taxes on net-income of c-corps compared to the net income that passes through on other entities (s-corp), or that are taxed on personal income (k-1) the effective tax bill is far less on the c-corp, and That's without even looking at the other benefits the c-corp has. show me this law that a small business owner cant have a c-corp and start small and I will definitely shut my mouth.

Also waiting to see if he’ll respond. I was told to do a C-Corp over an LLC for my write offs. The idea is my earned income (since I’m 1099) will instead go through my LLC and through my LLC will pay myself. I was recommended an C-Corporation. A stands corporation. She said I can write off almost everything

Very good video. Can I use a 401k rollover in a S-Corp? I'm looking at buying into a franchise and the funding people (FranFund) are telling me if I use my 401k for working capital, then I have to have a C-Corp. They're also saying that I'm required to do this so I don't get penalized when withdrawing money. Is this true? Is there a better way to do this? Thanks for any info you can provide.

What does he mean around 2:11 that Corporate taxes now kick in if we want to take any money out? I thought Corporate taxes on profits ALWAYS apply, and it’s only if they are distributed to shareholders that the profits are taxed again at the shareholder level?

To start a C Corp does one of the Director/me ever has to have US social security numbers?

Hi Mark, Thanks for these great videos! I'm still confused however, as my new accountant just set me up as a Corporation, to be taxed as an S-Corp.

If you want lots of stockholders and other big business benefits, you need a C corporation. If you are 100% destined to become a Fortune 500 corporation, you need a C corporation.

I need some clarification on the income of C Corporation 75K out of which 50K given as a loan to shareholder and then tax C Corp will only on 25k is only taxable ? Is that 50k us deductible from Corp net earnings ? Even though IRS will take taxes as dividend later on ? I thought imputed interest on the loan is an income to Corp but not the whole 50K will be treated as deduction from Corp net income of 75K ?

Great video and explanation. Can I ask you a question, what if I continue to borrow money from the c-Corp until I pass away and I get an umbrella insurance policy to cover the cost of all the taxes that I incurred. I heard an investor mention something about this strategy.

I'm not an expert, and I know this comment is several years old, but something people forget about this strategy is that this basically requires paying a premium for an insurance policy. It can have its place, but I would definitely make sure I was calculating the cost of the premium. And ultimately you still pay the taxes, you just pay them when you pass away, which you could theoretically do without the insurance. I'm assuming the reason to do the insurance is because you actually care about protecting either the business or your dependents when the tax bill comes due. There definitely could be a place where you break even, but I also wouldn't put it past a financial advisor to not take that expense into account. I have just seen so many people who are bending over backwards to avoid taxes make the mistake of paying $2 in expenses to avoid $1 in taxes. If you have the $2 in expenses anyway, it makes perfect sense to claim them to avoid $1 in taxes, but if you are incurring additional expenses (such as an insurance premium) for the sole purpose of avoiding taxes logically you should never spend more than $1 in additional premium (adjusted for the time value of money) to avoid $1 in additional taxes.

So do a c corp if I want to get big. Got it

Putting people on the payroll, for real work done, who I was giving money to anyway would be a massive benefit. I might spend $30k a year on myself. I don't need a fancy house.
