    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).

    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 ?

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.

    • @vgsdomingo1
      @vgsdomingo1 Год назад

      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.

  • @tvancleve
    @tvancleve 3 года назад +6

    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
      @DrMathOfficial 2 года назад

      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?
