Tax Tuesday Questions about Tax Season? What forms do you need to file? Don't worry - Luke has got you covered! #taxseason #taxbenefits #askusanything #finance

Thinking about becoming an S Corp? Avoid these common mistakes.?? S Corps can be a game-changer for solopreneurs, but only if you set things up correctly. Here are three costly mistakes we see all the time ?? 1?? Not paying yourself a reasonable salary – The IRS requires S Corp owners to take a reasonable salary before distributions. Pay yourself too little, and you risk penalties. Pay yourself too much, and you lose the tax savings that make an S Corp so attractive. 2?? Mixing personal and business finances – Just because you have an S Corp doesn’t mean you’re automatically protected. If you’re using your business account like a personal piggy bank, you could weaken your legal protections (and create a tax nightmare). 3?? Electing S Corp status too late – Timing is everything. If you miss the deadline to file Form 2553, you could lose out on an entire year of tax savings. Many business owners don’t realize this until it’s too late. S Corps are powerful, but only if you set them up (and run them) the right way. Have questions? Drop them in the comments—we’re happy to help. ?? #scorp #business #LLC #taxsavings #businessadvice #taxseason

Don’t make these two common mistakes with an S Corp? 1?? Treating your S Corp like a regular LLC and taking profit whenever you want. With an S Corp, you’re both an owner and an employee—you have to follow the rules. 2?? Skipping payroll and not paying yourself a reasonable salary.
