Wow amazing... Thank you for this. I have been wanting to create my own bookkeeping software for 10 years now haha. This with Simple ML for Sheets (Extension) you can train the AI on 1 month of transactions/data and you can have it do the rest. Thousands saved in software and time now.

I had a CPA recommend I set up an S Corp in 2015 without explaining to me all of the extra steps and fees I would have to pay. She focused on "all this money I would save" and I ended up paying more the first 2 years. Very glad I have an S Corp now, but I wish I had educated myself more before jumping in! And I definitely got a different CPA! Very thankful for people like you who share so many great tips on this topic!

Fringe question for you, in regard to entertainment not being deductible: what if your business is entertainment? As an example: if I were a youtuber, using my channel for income (I'm currently not, btw) and my channel's focus was playing laser tag at different facilities around the country/world. Would travel/laser tag equipment/laser tag games be deductible, as it is directly related to the business of the youtube channel? Another example: if I were a youtuber, using my channel for income and my channel's focus was reviewing hotels and theme parks around the country/world. Would hotel stays, theme park passes, food at theme parks/hotels be deductible? If I were to drive around the country to do either of these things, would the mileage be deductible?

Hey there! In general, if your business doesn't have enough profit to pay yourself a reasonable salary, it may mean that S Corp isn't the best status for you. The tax savings only kick in when you have profit to pay yourself above and beyond your reasonable salary.

When calculating reasonable compensation, are expenses paid through the business, such as automobile expenses, added to the salary to determine the compensation amount, or is this simply the gross salary you pay yourself on the P&L that is considered?

I recommend handling these as reimbursements if they are for your personal automobile and not through salary. If you do them as reimbursements (with an accountable plan which is basically a reimbursement plan) they will be tax free. If you add them to your salary you'll end up paying taxes on them, so no real benefit.

@JamieTrull
@JamieTrull 6 күн бұрын
If done properly (and documented well), it will have economic substance. If the FMC is actually managing the child, logging time, invoicing the S Corp - it absolutely has substance. Additionally, especially in cases where a child is working for multiple family-run companies, it can centralize and simplify the payment of family employees. Entities that centralize certain activities are quite common and generally acceped when it comes to business structure (again, so long as proper documentation exists). If desired, to prove that economic substance you could even pay the management company an additional fee for its services, meaning it will post a profit which can further prove economic substance. I understand that some CPAs may be very conservative from a risk perspective, but like most decisions it isn't black and white. The resources I provide to people explain how to ensure you have proper documentation in place to defend economic substance if you ever need to.

It depends on you! If you can manage all the accounts in QB and are ok with manually moving balances around just on paper, that can be an option. I've found most business owners like to use bank balance accounting though where they can log in at any time and instantly see what their available cash balance to spend is. Relay also allows you to set up an actual savings account and make some interest for longer-term business savings. Personally, I prefer to track my balances in Relay and feel it allows for more automations and ease. Plus, it's free (and you get $50 after depositing your first $100 if you use my link to sign up! jamietrull.com/relay )
