What are the tax benefits of adopting LLC, Partnership and Corporate forms of ownership.
tax benefits of adopting LLC, Partnership and Corporate forms of ownership.
LLC :
It gives the greatest tax flexibility that is the LLC operating agreement includes management provisions and buy-sell provisions, making the LLC a popular entity to own real estate, boats, and airplane, and a popular entity for foreign citizens to render services or sell products.
Partnership:
The profits of a partnership pass through to its owners, who
report their share on their individual tax returns. Therefore, the
profits are only taxed once (at the personal level of its owners)
rather than twice, as is the case with corporations, which are
taxed at the corporate level and then again at the personal level
when dividends are distributed to the shareholders
Corporate forms :
Corporations often gain tax advantages, such as the deductibility of health insurance premiums paid on behalf of an owner-employee; savings on self-employment taxes, as corporate income is not subject to Social Security, Workers Compensation and Medicare taxes; and the deductibility of other expenses such as life insurance. For information on the types of tax advantages your business may gain by forming as a corporation, consult an accountant or tax advisor
