THANK YOU for detailed C Corp content! More C Corp content please! All the C Corp content on KZbin that I find is exactly as you described: naive. Some of us are already in the top tax bracket with W2 income and have more complex needs/plans. Thank you! More of this please! And more detailed info about how I can make a C Corp work for me and my family, e.g. setting up a Roth 401k for my 5 yr old and getting his growth started ASAP. How would a C Corp work with a WY holding company? How can I get a C Corp to pay for a vehicle that is 90% business use/10% personal use with reimbursements? Detailed C Corp content is sorely lacking, maybe even my comment here has things wrong because it's difficult to find/learn. Thank you again for this video. Great stuff.

[@ClintCoons]

Thanks for the ideas.

[@longinthegong]

I second this comment. Insights into a ROBS transaction and implications of owning RE in C corps and exit strategies would be awesome to know. Just watched your turo video on liability and tax -@@ClintCoons 2 thumbs up on both of those videos. Subscribed and plan to watch it all. @thoselog similar ideas as you on starting retirement plans for kids and buying houses to help them get a start on real estate before starter homes price them out.

Thank you for this information! It's so helpful as I was looking to start as an LLC and did not know the difference behind S-Corp or C-Corp. This has helped me in my decision with my start-up. Thanks so much!

[@sunelsnn]

Thanks for great analysis in choosing C Vs S Corp. There is also section 199A QBI deduction of 20% for trade related business (Rental income may qualify in some cases) for S Corp and seems like not available for C-corp Which may incentivize to go with S-corp.

[@alexmcdonald9788]

This was so good it felt like a master class. Thank you.

[@headlibrarian1996]

I believe section 1244 ordinary loss is limited to $50k if single and $100k if married, any excess loss is capital. Also pretty sure that electing S-corporation taxation allows the owner to deduct any amount of loss, regardless of marital status, in full so long as the owner has basis and isn’t subject to passive loss or at-risk limits (they shouldn’t be if they run the business).

How does the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) affect anonymity of Wyoming and other similar states offerings? Is there any difference now since everyone must disclose? What about dissolved Llc? Do you have to report even when it no longer exists? What about liability protections? Can you please do an in-depth explanation of how to navigate this new obstacle? Thank you

It has zero effect on your anonymity. If an LLC is dissolved you no longer have to report on it. andersonadvisors.com/corporate-transparency-act-compliance/

Please discuss how/why/when we wind down and close the corporation and the tax ramifications in doing so. Or maybe just "death do us part" and let the heirs figure it out?

[@ClintCoons]

To shut down the business you will need to consult with your CPA to determine the tax basis of your shares and the built in gain of any assets in the company. Yes it can be complex depending on the assets of the business.

This was a great video. I am in the middle of investing in a franchise business and i cannot make a decision on the proper entity because of all the various inputs out there. Some say LLC, Some say C-Corp (ROBs) some say LLC taxed as C-Corp. It's so confusing and it seems like you're pushed in one direction based on the experience of the CPA you go with but ultimately it's been tough trying to decide what is best for a startup franchise!

As the founder of a tech startup focused on AI that is raising 300-400k USD, ROI of around 4-6 months after launching...and as a non-US citizen opening american company in Delaware, living in Europe and having international investors, is C Corporation the right choice for me? We are working with 48 influencers with a total of 10 millions followers, so marketing is piece of cake and not a big chunk of costs (contrary to other startups). My engineering team is top notch. We are capturing Gen Alpha market in Mexico and then expanding to Southeast Asia and Latin America. Please let me know and would love to work with your team in the near future!

Q: Hypothetically Business annual revenue is $300K Annually salary is $50k Business profit after all other overhead is: $150K Distribution for ownership (myself is $100K) If I set up as a S-Corp without showing losses (because my company is profitable and I would like to buy R.E. does my distribution ($100K) taken into consideration with my salary of ($50k). Also, my w-2 combined with wife is $150K. If we decide to sell the company, could we change from an S-Corp to a C-Corp for the tax benefits. Great Explanation BTW. Thanks in advance…

[@ClintCoons]

You might consider hiring your spouse and paying her a salary to bump up her w-2 then have her apply for the loan. If you keep what you have in place you can definitely get loans but your S-Corp will need to provide tax returns to the lender if you are going on the loan

This information was incredibly amazing and so valuable to me! Thank You! I'm currently working on real estate investment and just flipped our first house. One of your videos mentioned not being "tagged" as a flipper, I believe. Can I create my corporate entity and "retro" the house I just flipped as my first property? Secondly, I'm an acupuncturist by trade and am looking to do a start up as a separate entity. Does this strategy work equally in that field? I wasn't sure if I could "tie" it into the entity I use for real estate or if it needs to be it's own separate business. Thanks again for the amazing videos, I can't get enough of them!

[@ClintCoons]

The business activities should be kept separate. In response to the flipping, that shipped sailed and I would not be too worried about the dealer classification. One flip will not make you a dealer. If you plan on flipping additional properties then yes, consider establishing an entity for your flipping activities.

Thanks @ClintCoons for the info! For those setting up a startup business online including consulting (not real estate) and looking into the setup of a WY MMLLC for Operating Company, a WY C-Inc for HC to hold all personal assets (mostly brokerage accounts and personal home) and 100% of the OC, and eventually a Trust (which kind exactly and WY or NV?) to own the C-corp, is the order to set these up important to maintain anonymity if all done in WY and possibly using a registered agent? I ask because, for example if we start at the bottom and my wife and I initially own the OC which will allow to get the business actually started, then, we create the C-Inc HC (owned by us) to own the OC instead of us plus our personal property, and then, we create a trust to own the C-Inc HC, would that order reveal the ownership as it unfolded vs. starting at the top (1. Trust -> 2. HC-> 3. OC)?

[@ClintCoons]

If you are planning to start your own business, I would suggest you set it up in the state where you live. When it comes to taking payroll, you will need to register it in your state, and that will negate the benefit of WY or NV.

For #4, can I just form a brand new Inc. that buys the LLC, then sell the Inc. and get the first $10m tax free?

Yay some useful information about the C corp stuff vs what the internet says. Is it possible to have a LLC partnership where one member (C corp) takes all the taxes and the second member (Disregarded) able to withdrawal/deposit any money in the business?

[@headlibrarian1996]

Obviously not. Tax fraud all the way.

[@ClintCoons]

What you are referring to are "special allocations". Special allocations in a partnership work by allowing the allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit in a manner that differs from a partner's liquidation value percentage in a particular taxable year. These allocations are determined by the partnership agreement and must have substantial economic effect and not be used to avoid or evade Federal income tax.

I’m sure I did this absolutely the wrong way, but I ran up my wife’s credit card and my credit cards to purchase a trailer and I put 20,000 down on an 18 wheeler and financed the other 27. we started in June and haven’t seen a profit and I did this as an LLC formation. I want to get the most tax benefit out of this when the time comes my wife and I both work regular jobs. Even though we are not profiting we do not want to sell, you want to keep the business and hopefully at least get a huge tax benefit off of depreciation and hopefully against the startup money which is at 40 K. Should I change the formation? Should I get something in addition to the LLC? Please help I didn’t realize how clueless we were, that was pretty clueless to run up our credit cards like that. We do want to own a home in the future because we currently rent right now because we haven’t been able to pay off the credit cards because we haven’t seen a profit or credit is currently not doing great.

So, I gather this is an indicator that a c-corp, regardless if you're a start-up or a long-standing big hitter. It sounds safer and more beneficial due to it being a separate entity and its tax benefits? The C-Corp gets audited, not you. The C-Corp gets taxed, not you, and the C-Corp being a separate entity, and you being the employee, makes it safer? Question's: 1. If you start a C-Corp, who is the owner if it is its own entity? 2.

THANK YOU TEACHER

[@activemusickid]

Um… You can only avoid tax on first $10M of an Inc/C Corp sale if you’ve had interest in the company for a period of 5 years or longer… Why wasn’t this mentioned ?? PLUS… it’s not “money in your pocket” because then the $ gets distributed to you as the shareholder and that’s a taxable event… So if you haven’t owned the S Corp for at least 5 years and you sell, you don’t get the no corporate tax on first $10M benefit, AND then you get hit with double taxation when the corporation sale gets distributed to you as the shareholder. With an S Corp., you don’t have to face any of these issues… All of it passes through to you on an individual level and you just pay a capital gains tax. So Clint, please tell me how a C Corp could possibly be beneficial to the vast majority of people who won’t even meet the requirements to qualify for the C Corp’s benefits?

[@ClintCoons]

The 1202 QSBS exclusion avoids taxation because it involves a stock sale rather than an asset sale, which means no dividends are distributed to shareholders. In contrast, with an S-Corp, you cannot exclude the gain on the sale. If the transaction is structured as an asset sale, then double taxation does occur as you mentioned. I favor using C-Corps because they separate business activities from my personal tax returns (Form 1040). As an investor utilizing financing, I prefer that underwriters do not have access to my business taxes, profit and loss statements, or balance sheets.

@@ClintCoons Understood. But is it still true that you have to hold the C-Corp for 5 years in order to benefit from the no-tax on the first $10M?

[@ClintCoons]

@@activemusickid Yes that is correct.

Maybe these CPA's aren't smart enough to service other types of companies? We've discovered most CPA's only care about tax returns and hardly ever, usually never, use timely financials throughout the year to make sure their client is PROFITABLE. They treat bookkeeping as not important. Only tax time is important, hence: journal entries. We've even seen more than one CPA journal entry the BANK account!

Well stated.
