Entity Restructuring + Tax Minimization

Entity Restructuring + Tax Minimization

Tax Advantages of C-Corps, S-Corps, B-Corps, and even LLCs

Are you considering restructuring your business entities? Or are you not sure whether to stay the course with your current structure?  The entity type you choose for your business can make or break your business. Especially, in light of the new corporate tax rate reduction from 35% to 21% by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), does the corporation entity structure sound attractive to you? Pass-through entities also benefit from the tax rate reduction. Along with the rate changes, business owners may be able to take 20% deduction on the Qualified Business Income (QBI) under IRS Section 199A. However, entity restructuring requires so much more intricate details than just comparing of tax rates. In order to find out what structure that makes the most sense for your business, it is important to dig deeper and evaluate all of the factors involved. It requires in-depth understanding of the nuances, risks and benefits of each entity type depending on your unique financial situation and objectives of your business.
