LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp – What’s the Difference?

By 2014, Tax Tips

As you take the first steps toward choosing the entity type for your new business, you will find that there are multiple options for you to choose from. The differences can be difficult to understand and it can be frustrating trying to make the right choice for APOLLCyou and your new business.

One of the most common entities is an LLC, Limited Liability Company. An LLC is a type of business that separates your finances from those of your business. Similar to an LLC is a PLLC which provides the same protections for business owners providing services that require a license such as those opening a medical practice.

An S-corporation protects your finances the same way an LLC does, but it can be daunting for a new business. An S-Corp requires a board of directors and the filing of multiple reports, which an LLC does not. One difference between an LLC and an S-Corp is the level of regulatory commitment you would be undertaking. An advantage of an S-Corp is the potential savings of self-employment taxes. Of note, an S-Corp is limited to 100 shareholders and all shareholders must be domestic.

A C-Corporation, like both the LLC and S-Corp options before it, protects your finances in the event of your business being sued. Like the S-Corp it relies on shareholders, but it does not have a limit on how many shareholders can be a part of the company. A major disadvantage not seen with an S-Corp or an LLC is what’s referred to as “double taxation,” wherein the Corporation’s profits are taxed, distributed, and taxed again as dividends to the shareholders.

Each business type comes with unique advantages and disadvantages. As experts in accounting management solutions, ATS is well-versed in each of the options available to your new business.

IRS issues new regulations for tax preparers

IRS issues new regulations for tax preparers

tax

Tax season is already in high gear, and businesses should be mindful of new IRS regulations regarding tax preparation. Don’t forget to meet your deadlines and choose a competent business tax professional.

According to the IRS, all paid tax return preparers to have a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN).  It is important to find out if the preparer is affiliated with a professional organization, and if so, if there are any disciplinary actions or complaints registered with the Better Business Bureau, state boards of accountancy for certified public accountants, the state bar associations for attorneys and the IRS Office of Enrollment for enrolled agents.

After confirming the preparer has a registered PTIN number, the next thing you should do is confirm they are experienced with business tax returns. Then find out about service fees and if the preparer offers electronic filing. The IRS recommends avoiding any preparer who base their fee on a percentage of your return. You should also make sure funds are deposited directly into your account or sent to you, not to the preparer. Electronic filing is safe and secure and should be used by anyone not specifically requesting a paper return. The preparer is required to sign the return per IRS regulations.

Let Accounting and Tax Solutions be an integrated part of your business. Let us use our experience, knowledge and expertise to be your trusted business advisor and ongoing part of your management team. Contact Accounting and Tax Solutions for a consultation (303) 232-8300.
