Most people dread tax day, especially those that aren’t prepared and don’t have a plan. If you plan your business and your income correctly using business entities like LLCs, or S Corps, you not only can deduct many operating expenses, but you can even file an extension which lessens that time pressure and gives you an opportunity to step away from the herd. The only catch is that to be effective and in compliance with legal regulations, you have to do some strategic work up front. First thing is you have to decide what your business and investment goals are and find the right combination of legal entities and where you want to do business. Then you need to make sure that you are in compliance in case you ever have an audit or legal issue. We are here to talk about all of this and offer some options in getting the legal stuff done right. Disclaimer: We are not lawyers, CPAs, or licensed financial planners.
