question
Advantages ; Disadvantages of C Corporation
answer
Advantages - Earnings can be retained- The corporation can retain its earnings for future investment or dividends. -Limited liability - Corporate shareholders are generally not responsible for the debts and obligations of the corporation. -Ease of formation- Forming a corporation is generally a mechanical process dictated by state law. Disadvantages - Formalities required. A corporation must follow certain formalities dictated by law to maintain its corporate status. - Administration. The administration of a corporation is complicated since certain federal and state tax procedures are necessary and certain accounting methods may not be available. - Cost. The cost to incorporate an entity can be considerable, and there are annual filing fees that must be paid in most states. Also, the administrative costs of accounting and tax preparation may be expensive due to the complexity of complying with corporate laws. - Tax issues. In general, corporations are separate taxable entities that are subject to federal and state taxation. Corporate income is taxed at the corporate level. When that income is passed on to the shareholders as a distribution or dividend, it is taxed again on the shareholder's individual tax return. Double taxation may be partially or completely avoided in a small business by paying a salary to the employee shareholder. - Tax consequences upon dissolution of a corporation. With all forms of business entity except a C corporation, dissolution and distribution of the business's assets to the owners is, at worst, a single taxable event. In a C corporation, a double tax may be due; the corporation may owe a capital gains tax on liquidation and the individual shareholders also must recognize a gain upon the transfer of proceeds from the corporate entity to the individual recipient. Consequently, dissolving a C corporation can have serious tax ramifications.
question
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
answer
Hybrid between partnership and corporation -Tax benefits of partnership - Liability benefits of corporation Formation - Articles of organization filed with secretary of state -Operating agreement (similar to partnership agreement) * Most professional sports teams are LLC's
question
Advantages and Disadvantages of LLC
answer
Advantages - Limited liability. Members are shielded from being personally liable for acts of the LLC and its members. - Flexible membership. Members can be individuals, partnerships, trusts, or corporations, and there is no limit on the number of members. - Management. Members can manage the LLC or elect a management group to do so. Flow-through treatment. Income, losses, deductions, and tax credits flow through the LLC to the individual members. Disadvantages - One member LLCs. Many jurisdictions do not allow LLCs to have only one member, although the number of jurisdictions that do allow them is growing. Under federal law, a single-member LLC is treated as a sole proprietorship. - Free transferability of interest. In older LLCs, transferability of interests was usually restricted to enable the LLC to be treated as a partnership. - Nontraditional entity. An LLC is a new entity type for which there is little precedent available. - Cost. An LLC usually costs more to form and maintain than a sole proprietorship or a general partnership. States may also charge an initial formation fee and an annual fee.
question
S Corporation
answer
Similar to "C" Corporation except for - IRS election requirement - Tax treatment (similar to partnership) - Can elect "cash method" of accounting if no inventory - No personal holding company tax - Limited to less than 100 shareholders -Other ownership restrictions - Limited loss deductibility for tax purposes - Calendar year - Only one class of stock - Some tax issues related to fringe benefits
question
Advantages and Disadvantages of a S corporation
answer
Advantages - Cash method of accounting. Corporations must use the accrual method of accounting unless they are considered to be small corporations (a small corporation has gross receipts of $5,000,000 or less). S corporations, however, usually don't have to use the accrual method unless they have inventory. - Personal holding company tax. An S corporation does not have earnings and profits, which would allow it to accumulate passive income that is then passed to its shareholders. A corporation that does not elect S corporation status and accumulates passive income is at risk of being classified as a personal holding company. For federal tax purposes, a personal holding company is a corporation that is owned by a small number of individuals and that receives most of its income in the form of dividends, interest, and rents. From 2003 through 2008, undistributed personal holding company income is taxed at an additional 15 percent rate. Disadvantages - Limit on number of shareholders. An S corporations may only have up to 75 shareholders (100 shareholders for tax years beginning after 2004). - Limited losses. Although shareholders of S corporations have the ability to deduct pass-through losses, shareholders may not be able to deduct all the losses allocated to them because such losses are only available to the extent of the shareholder's basis in the S corporation. This is a tax accounting concept that basically limits the amount of losses that an S corporation shareholder can take. (However, C corporation shareholders ordinarily can't deduct any losses at all, unless their stock becomes worthless or is sold at a loss). - Calendar year. An S corporation must adopt a calendar year as its tax year unless it can establish a business purpose for having a fiscal year. - One class of stock. An S corporation can only have one class of stock, which can impair the corporation's ability to raise capital. Nonvoting stock is not considered a "separate class" for this purpose, however. - Taxable fringe benefits. Most fringe benefits provided by the corporation are taxable as compensation to employee-shareholders who own more than 2 percent of the corporation.
