What You Need To Know About Incorporating Your Business

Most US-based small businesses are getting eaten alive in taxes! That statement has proven itself true over and over again. However, while small business owners want to save money, many are literally afraid of incorporating their companies. The paperwork, the additional reports, having a set payroll amount each month, and other visions swirl around their heads. Those visions could be costing you a ton!Let me take a few minutes to explain what you need to know about incorporating your business. While it certainly isn't a move every business will want to make, there are definitely some large benefits associated with incorporation.MYTHIncorporating means I can't take money whenever I want it.TRUTHYes you can! This is a MYTH that holds a lot of small business owners back from incorporating.

If you set a payroll amount for yourself, then decide you want/need more money, you simply write yourself another check and call it an "owner distribution" or a "draw."MYTHThere's too much paperwork involved once you incorporate. I don't have the time.TRUTHThere are some additional forms you have to complete. There are some additional taxes you have to pay. HOWEVER... read this carefully...

for the three or four extra forms and the cost of the additional taxes, most businesses will still save when compared to counting every dollar you make toward personal income.MYTHThe only good reason to incorporate is for personal protection. The difference in taxes isn't that much.TRUTHWhile incorporating your business will help protect you from lawsuits and from having your personal property seized, there are more benefits than that. The tax savings can be quite significant.MYTHWith the attorney's fees, the CPA's fees, the additional income tax returns, and the forms I have to file quarterly, it's just not worth it. I won't really save any money.TRUTHEvery case is different; however, most small businesses will more than make up the $1500 - $2000 it costs to incorporate within the first six months to one year. Also, most small businesses will save about 50% on taxes after they incorporate.

(A qualified CPA will be able to look at your books and give you a more accurate figure.)MYTHI'll have to hold meetings and keep lots of records that I don't have time to keep.TRUTHNot if you register as a "closed" S-Corporation. This means you have waived the requirement to hold all those meetings and keep all those records.How Do You Get Specific Details?Contact a qualified CPA in your local area. He or she can give you detailed information on how much it will cost to set everything up, and - most importantly - how much you will save in taxes.Incorporation is not something to be afraid of. In fact, if you're one of the many who will save 50% off your taxes in the next year, it's something to go after with a vengeance!Copyright 2004 Diane Hughes.

(ContentDesk) May 2, 2004--In this book, the primary objective of the author is to make Americans aware of the message contained in chapter 12. This chapter describes a proposal now before congress that may provide full salary retirement income to those who retire under this plan and in the process save Social Security and Medicare.The problems of concern to Social Security and Medicare are projections; it is projected in the very near future these social programs will not have sufficient income to support the benefits that must be paid to future recipients.The solution is simple, either increase income or reduce projected future recipients and the plan described in the book reduces future recipients by offering retirees full salary retirement income in lieu of benefits paid from these social programs.The plan is paid for by the employers and while paying for this plan the employers convert 40% of their current payroll expenses into new taxable net gain and most importantly the employers...
