Tax Entity Selection

As a CPA, my clients frequently ask what entity should they form for their business or investment activity.  Should it be an S corporation? How about an LLC? I plan to raise capital, does that matter? I am planning to purchase several single-family homes… should I form a C corporation?

Obviously answering the question of entity choice is best answered sooner than later, but issues like income taxes, legal protection, partners, ease of doing business, and many others can make choosing the right entity complicated.

The right entity can even slash your tax burden while providing legal protection against creditors and lawsuits.  The right entity could entitle you to deduct 100% of your medical expenses saving you and your family not only income taxes but self-employment tax.

With our new Business and Tax Entity Selection Guide, you can get the help you need to make the right choice. Our 105-page guide walks you through the advantages and disadvantages of each entity type:
