Business Formation Services Portal

Welcome to the Business Formation Services and S Corp Formation Portal! Everything you need to help you launch your new business entity from business entity selection to multiple-entity business structures. Should you select an LLC or a Corporation? Are you considering an S Corp election? What about adding your spouse to the business? What about a holding company?

Worried about long-distance relationships? Most of our clients are primarily in California, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, the Midwest, Florida and New England, but we serve business owners in all 50 states. Long distance is a snap, and we can easily be your online tax accountant!

Business Formation and Considerations

Get your business on the right track, right away. Let us discuss the proper business entity type and structure for your needs and goals. No, we don’t want to unnecessarily complicate the heck out of things, but we need to design something that not only works today but is also something that is malleable as your world changes.

Business Formation

Pursuing a passion and making it into a business is a great way of life, but certain foundational steps need to be in place for long-term success.

Formation Fees

Here are the formation fees by each state for domestic limited liability companies (LLCs) and corporations, including foreign entity registrations.

Entity Selection

Choosing a business entity type should not be that troubling although many new business owners tend to fret over it. We understand why!

Multiple Entity Structure

Multi-entity business structures can create tax benefits, but more importantly they create flexibility and provide for long-term options.

Operating Agreements

Operating Agreements are like Bylaws for an LLC, and they protect the rights of the members and define the parameters in which the members can operate.

S Corp vs C Corp

Many business owners are faced with the S corporation vs. C corporation business entity type selection conundrum

Deal Structures

We are only going to scratch the surface on the types of deals and arrangements that you might see out there.

Hold Co VS Mgmt Co

Holding companies and management companies are not the same thing. One, as the name suggests, holds or owns underlying assets (other businesses).

LLCs & S Corp Book

WCG CPAs & Advisors and Jason Watson, CPA, have released the 2023-2024 Edition of Taxpayer’s Comprehensive Guide to LLCs and S Corps.

S Corp Formation

Recall that an S Corp formation does not truly exist; rather it is a tax election on an underlying entity. Also keep in mind that without an S corporation election a typical LLC’s net business income after expenses will be subjected to 15.3% self-employment tax plus income taxes ranging from 10% to 37%. Yuck! And, a C corporation will have a 21% tax rate plus a possible 23.8% dividend tax rate. Is an S Corp election right for you? What about the S Corporation vs C Corporation debate? Who knows! Let’s find out…

Avoid SE Tax

The S Corp election is applied to an underlying entity with the primary purpose of reducing self-employment taxes.

Late S Corp Election

The late S corp election can easily be done well into 2024 for 2023 as well (but there are things to work through)!

New S Corp Puppy

Your corporation or LLC taxed as S Corp election shouldn’t change much in terms of how you operate your business.

S Corp Life Cycle

S Corp benefits can be huge, but how does it all work? In other words, what are the steps from nothing to a well-oiled machine?

Reasonable Shareholder Salary

Determining a reasonable shareholder salary and reasonable officer compensation is the murkiest part of running an S corporation.

1099 Accountant

Many businesses like the flexibility of a gaggle of 1099 contractors. They can fill temporary voids in the workflow without a lot of commitment.

Adding Your Spouse

You might be one of three situations. First, you have a partner in your business already and there’s no getting around it.

Salary Optimization

The Section 199A qualified business income deduction is a wonderful offspring from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

Business Tax Deductions

Yes, you want to get a little extra from your hard work and your business and you want this to be tax-advantaged.

Year-End Tax Moves

The holidays are coming and people start thinking about year-end moves to minimize their taxes.

Tax Planning Strategies

Tax planning strategies are commonly addressed in December as small business owners and other taxpayers start to freak out…

Self Employed Retirement

We are going to put the carriage in front of the horse, and show you a comparison of basic small business retirement options before explaining each plan.

Turbo Charged 401K Plan

Oftentimes business owners want to put away a ton of money in individual 401k plans, but cannot due to inherit limitations within the plan.

Reasonable S Corp Salary

Determining a reasonable shareholder salary and reasonable officer compensation is the murkiest part of running an S corporation.

Auto Purchase Questions

Periodic Business Review

WCG are business consultants first and accountants second. Far too often business CPAs are simply compliance-oriented…

Business Formation Consultation

hey there, we are super cool. contact us.

The tax advisors and business consultants at WCG are not salespeople; we are not putting lipstick on a pig expecting you to love it. Our job remains being professionally detached, giving you information and letting you decide within our ethical guidelines and your risk profiles.

We see far too many crazy schemes and half-baked ideas from attorneys and wealth managers. In some cases, they are good ideas. In most cases, all the entities, layering and mixed ownership is only the illusion of precision. As Chris Rock says, just because you can drive your car with your feet doesn’t make it a good idea. In other words, let’s not automatically convert “you can” into “you must.” Yes, it is fun to brag about how complicated your world is at cocktail parties, but let’s not unnecessarily complicate it for the bragging rights.

Let’s chat so you can be smart about it.

We typically schedule a 20-minute complimentary quick chat with one of our Partners or Senior Tax Professionals to determine if we are a good fit for each other, and how an engagement with our team looks. Tax returns only? Business advisory? Tax prep, and more importantly tax strategy and planning?

Should we need to schedule an additional consultation, our fee is $250 for 40 minutes. Fun! If we decide to press forward with a Business Advisory or Tax Patrol Services engagement, we will credit the consultation fee towards those services.
