I love the fact that you reference court cases because it gives me a point to better understand and actually review how the IRS view and process the case

Bruh, this whole video was so dang helpful. Now I know going s-corp is premature for us

[LadyDayK]

I really appreciate your time stamps. I don't skip through listening but it helps for writing down the important parts I want to remember.

Can you expand on 15:00 "scorps have a slighter edge on raising capital than an LLC"? What do you mean by that? Also, I'd like to start an scorp, but I may want to raise VC money someday so should I start as LLC > scorp or ccorp > scorp?

Thanks!

Your videos are excellent. I really appreciate the content. You also do a great job visually! Just curious if you are using a program to do these videos or do you hire someone? If you hire someone, I might be interested in hiring them... If you make them - awesome job!

1. In the state of Colorado you can set up an S-Corp as a legal entity.

2. If the S-Corp is not an entity but just a tax election on a tax form as you just said in the beginning of the video. Then why do you need a board of directors?

3. You need to wear a different shirt. Your white shirt is making you blend in with your background.

Do you have a course that walk through step by step filing business tax return ?

[creed]

I know my comment is 2 years to late but yes PLEASE reference tax court cases

[Simonjose]

Of course you could have a C corp and elect not to take distributions and instead collateralize your stake and get loans which are not Taxed.

Doesn't an S-Corp provide Limited Liability Protection anyway?

[Lady-Carmakazi]

Very informative, great info. Thank you so much

[fearmybrand]

What if its a side hustle and you aren't profiting yet? What if there isn't an income yet to pay yourself with?

[teresaurquiagatayag]

@Sean I am loving this info.. I want to know more

If the business is new and the company is only making $10, 000 profit for the year, with 2 owner operators, what is considered a reasonable salary?

[OvidianHEX_]

Man thanks bro for this video. Looks like my Tax preparers where pushing me to get an S Corp just to increase my bill. This sucks :/ might get a new tax pro lets see.

[berkleybrannon]

In the $200, 000 of S-Corp income with 100, 000 being reasonable salary and the other 100, 000 being distributions, the savings from the Corp are less than $15, 300 because if you had 200, 000 of self employment income the social security taxes would max out at $147, 000 in 2022. You would still take the Medicare taxes of 2.9% as savings.
Great video!

One major advantage of an S corporation is that it provides owners limited liability protection, regardless of its tax status. Limited liability protection means that the owners' personal assets are shielded from the claims of business creditors—whether the claims arise from contracts or litigation.
