You can only write off your living expenses if a dedicated area in your house is used solely for your business. So if you have a second bedroom you use ONLY an office that counts. But if you use your dining room to eat in AND work in it, then it doesn't count. Finally, you have to calculate how much your monthly rent/mortgage is, then divide it by the square feet of your living area. Once you know how much you pay a month per square foot, you can add up how many square feet your office is in your house. Whatever that number is, is what you can write off as a monthly business expense.
I know you mentioned keeping accounts separate. But, what about writing off business expenses you already purchased on your personal credit card before setting up a LLC/ Bank account?
Those are 2 different questions. If it was before you set up an LLC you can't do anything about it because no business existed yet. If you already had an LLC but not a bank account then you can keep a copy of the purchase receipt, and reimburse yourself from the business.
still trying to find a reputable insurance bond provider... its weird so many insurance websites tell and explain what a bond is, but apparently themselves do not offer it/ surety bond
I went through the procces of filing a LLC exactly like you showed online but havent received anything and its been a month status just shows recieved with no fees at this time
You have your accountant fill out a 1099-K form. It records what your profits and debits were for the business. It then factors that in with your regular income to either increase or decrease your taxes.
If I still have the online business but not selling any supplements or anything risky that goes into the body, should I canceled the LCC? Would I still be able to run the business? 😢
If you have an LLC that isn't filed with the IRS as an S-Corp then you just draw from your business account into your personal account. If it is an S-Corp you pay yourself a wage as if you were an employee for your business, while taking out taxes on that paycheck.
For me, like a new resident USA who open LLC - this very important information. Thank you very much

I use credit debit and deposit slips to transfer the money. And under description, I always write "draw". Simple, trackable, documented.

Thank you for watching!!!!!
Just a question what if my business starts making less then 40k again do I change back to a sole proprietor or still keep my S-corp status ??
I know you mentioned keeping accounts separate. But, what about writing off business expenses you already purchased on your personal credit card before setting up a LLC/ Bank account?
Can i still write them off ?

Hello sir I am going to form a LLC in USA please tell me do I need to have operating agreement
How about cash app business account is this a real business account?🤔
It is not a real account. You still need a bank acct. but it’s better than nothing!
Great info, but what if you still have a regular 9-5 in addition to your small business? How does that factor into taxes?
You have your accountant fill out a 1099-K form. It records what your profits and debits were for the business. It then factors that in with your regular income to either increase or decrease your taxes.
What if I use the same car for myself and my business? How do I split the gas??
You keep a record of how many miles you drove each year for only business. The IRS lets you write off $0.65 per mile as a tax deduction.
If I still have the online business but not selling any supplements or anything risky that goes into the body, should I canceled the LCC? Would I still be able to run the business? 😢
Will the IRS tax you on total revenue or just profit?
Just the total profit
@@Vanader thanks!
The question now is: what percent should I pay myself?
Um….so how to I pay myself with my own business
If you have an LLC that isn't filed with the IRS as an S-Corp then you just draw from your business account into your personal account. If it is an S-Corp you pay yourself a wage as if you were an employee for your business, while taking out taxes on that paycheck.
