[@PaulDupreonegod007]

As a fellow accountant, this is a simple to understand and clear explanation of LLCs. Keep up the good work!

[@JasonRennie]

Bad C corp tax example. If you pay yourself W2 wages, those are expenses for the C corp, so they reduce the C corp income. The double taxation for C corps is generally via dividends which, if qualified, may be taxed on your personal income at a lower rate than "active" income. If all of your S corp income is "active", there's very little net difference between the C corp and S corp taxation structures. The S corp shines for non-active (captial gain) income which can be taxed (only once) at the long term capital gains rate (if these non-active profits are taken out at least a year after the capital is added to the LLC).

[@lostinmyspace4910]

I don't own a C corp. business. BUT, doesn't that business C corp. get to deduct payroll expenses as a regular business expense (legal business deduction) in determining net profit? Please someone answer that question...thanks! In my S-corp. business I do deduct all W-2 expenses including the matching social security expenses, and SUTA and FUTA tax as a regular business deduction. Any profit on the S corp is reported on a K-1, then gets reported on the Schedule 5 for Supplemental income which in turn is reported on Form1040. I'm never double taxes an an S corp owner.

In the pass through vs non pass through example why wouldn’t the owners w2 pay be an expense for the business, and therefore not taxed at the business entity level?

[@jasonwinters7560]

Wages are deducted on a C Corp. Not sure why he brought that up since it moves taxes from the 1120 to 1040. I expected him to bring up dividends since that creates double taxation.

[@Chrishm0]

so your w2 income is not a deduction to your c corp?????

I got an L.L.C last year because my oldest wanted to work. We filed taxes on the L.L.C this time . What is my part? I did personal taxes but do I do business taxes now since she filed ?

[@behappy886]

The best explanation!!

[@tvancleve]

You were doing good up until the example of double taxation. A c corporation would be able to deduct the wages it pays to its owner, in most cases, and therefore the C Corp would only pay taxes on $60,000. If you had used the dividend as an example, then you would have been spot on.

[@DrMathOfficial]

What do you mean a c corp would only pay taxes up to 60,000? So what the c corp pays you (the owner) pays taxes only up to 60,000? And then all money paid to you beyond that is not taxed/ no taxes are taken from it?

[@lonnylynn2409]

Yeah Doc, I’m lost on that too. Thought the owner got 50,000 out of 100,000. I think money taken out prior to taxes would help except when paying employment tax of up to 40% and C Corp needed to pay health and welfare?

When I first started my business it was a sole proprietorship. I applied for an EIN number to pay sale taxes. I just switched over to an LLC. I applied for a new EIN number for the same company. How do I cancel or get rid of the old EIN number?

[@vgsdomingo1]

You don't. The IRS cannot cancel your EIN. Once an EIN has been assigned to a business entity, it becomes the permanent Federal taxpayer identification number for that entity. Regardless of whether the EIN is ever used to file Federal tax returns, the EIN is never reused or reassigned to another business entity. The EIN will still belong to the business entity and can be used at a later date, should the need arise. If you receive an EIN but later determine you do not need the number (the new business never started up, for example), the IRS can close your business account.

In your calculation for C corporation i wonder if i understands correctly. If your company make 100.000$ and pay you 40.000. Should your company be taxed on 60.000$ ? Instead of 100.000k ? So even you are taxed twice but your icome are devised into 2 smaller tax bracked. Would it be a benefit over pass-though tax ?

@@LYFEAccounting i have 3 issues. One is that i have a brokerage account with a US broker but it allows me to buy stocks but not trade in options as my country India has regulations to that effect and i cannot open margin account with US broker and cannot trade margin products like stock or index options. Second i understand that for non US citizens if i get dividends some of it withheld as withholding tax. These are 2 reasons and 3rd thing is that i want to save tax overall on my profits.

[@joeb1522]

@@sshetty9683 You are still subject to withholding whether you own the brokerage account directly or whether through an LLC, meaning the withholding requirement doesn't disappear if you own it through an LLC. In India, you may be able to claim a foreign tax credit for the US withholding taxes, essentially offsetting your India taxes by your US tax withholding, so you aren't double taxed. A foreign tax credit is common, but you'll have to look at the specific rules in India.

[@joeb1522]

@@sshetty9683 I am not doing taxes for people right now (at least not new clients). The author of this video may be able to assist. Being an owner of an LLC is not related to being able to live and/or work in the US. I suspect it's similar in most countries. The US has tax treaties with several countries, which are listed here. www.irs.gov/businesses/international-businesses/united-states-income-tax-treaties-a-to-z. If you go to India /US treaty, article 10 says the withholding tax rate is 25% on dividends (unless you own 10% or more of the company, then it's 15% withholding). If the US doesn't have a treaty with the other country, then the withholding is 30%. It seems strange to move and became a resident of another country to save on tax withholding. It's quite possible you can get a foreign tax credit in India for the US withholding tax paid. I would ask a tax advisor in India who knows India tax law.
