This is probably the most common misconception we hear from new business owners.

Someone forms an LLC thinking it is going to lower their tax bill, and then tax season comes around, and they are confused about why nothing changed.

An LLC is a legal structure. It protects you personally if the business gets sued. That is valuable. But by itself it does not reduce what you owe in taxes. How your LLC is taxed depends on how it is set up and your specific situation.

A lot of people make this decision based on something they saw online without ever talking to a CPA first. By the time we see them, they have already filed wrong or missed opportunities that could have actually helped them.

If you just formed an LLC or are thinking about it, send us a message before you assume anything. We can walk you through exactly what it means for your taxes.

We see this more than you would think.

Someone runs a small business, does some side work, gets paid in cash, and just assumes it does not need to be reported. No 1099, no paper trail, no problem, right?
Not really.

The IRS does not care how the money came in. Cash is still income and income is still taxable. A lot of people find this out at the wrong time, and it turns into a much bigger headache than it needed to be.
If you have cash income and are not sure how to handle it, just send us a message. No judgment; we have seen it all.
