Learning Objective

  • To identify when it is right to counsel your clients to incorporate.
  • To recall the step-by-step process for setting it up, and when and how to work with a legal firm.
  • To analyze when and how to retroactively elect an entity to be treated as an S Corporation.
  • To identify and work through a few of the challenges faced when providing this service.
  • To recognize how to bill the client, and what to upsell as part of this service.

Course Overview

Choosing a business structure requires a calculus that weighs tax and legal benefits with startup costs and time. It’s one of the most consequential decisions you’ll make when you first start your small business.

Many small business owners hesitate to elect S corporation taxation because it requires more upfront time to get going. But don’t demur S Corp tax status: There are some great tax benefits you could be missing.

Don’t let the word “corporation” confuse you. S corporations don’t pay corporate income tax. Instead, S corporations enjoy pass-through taxation in which the company’s owners pay taxes on their portion of the company’s earnings based on their tax rates.

Small businesses with high profitability lose huge amounts of money in paying taxes. However, they can save it by applying a very effective strategy. They can incorporate their entity retroactively for the previous years. This may provide numerous benefits.

This Online CPE Tax Webinar covers the following Key Topics:

  • Saving in tax for your overall business income
  • Generating excellent revenue
  • Benefits of S Corporation election
  • Explanation of the step-by-step method through practical examples

This unique value webinar provides you an opportunity to benefit your clients by setting up an entity without any hassles and generating new income streams.

Vladislav Ignatchenko, EA

While author's position with respect to responsible compensation set as 1/3 with cap on 60K is not based on any IRS provisions, I like this approach. Nevertheless, I am afraid the IRS will not agree with the idea of a "Cap" on $60k...

The instructor was very knowledgeable and generous with his knowledge. He broke complex material down into very easy to understand language. I would be interested in learning more from him.
