It may be that the shareholders of the professional corporation may only be other professional licensed or otherwise legally authorized to render the same professional service as the Professional Corporation or Limited Liability Company. Of course, employees of the professional corporation such as clerks, secretaries, bookkeepers, technicians, and other assistants who are not licensed are not considered to be rendering professional services. It may be that transfers of stock or membership interest may only be made to licensed professionals or professional corporations or professional limited liability companies.

Tax Advantages?

The answer is YES! The benefit of forming a professional corporation can be substantial, compared to the inexpensive cost of forming such an entity. There are several tax deductions professional corporations can take advantage that other types of businesses can’t. For example, the salaries and bonuses paid to owners and employees are tax deductible.

With the skyrocketing cost of healthcare it becomes a necessity that individuals carry health insurance on themselves and their families. Sole proprietorships and partnerships are currently able to deduct only a portion of the health insurance costs from their taxes, which can be prohibitive to many or inhibit obtaining insurance coverage. A professional corporation, however, is able to fully deduct the cost of accident and health insurance plans for its employees and their families. This deduction could also extend to the cost of reimbursing employees for their uninsured medical expenses. Furthermore, a professional corporation may be able to deduct the cost of life and disability insurance.

What about Legal Advantages?

Professional Corporations can be important for those who practice in a group or with another physician. In this situation, the use of a Professional Corporations can protect against personal liability for the negligence of a partner. That’s a good reason why group practices are often structured as a single Professional Corporations or as a partnership of Professional Corporations with each physician owning his own corporation.

Form a Dual Class Limited Liability Company with AmeriLawyer

WHAT IS A DUAL CLASS LLC

The Dual Class LLC is a special type of LLC that follows proposed IRS regulations which allow an LLC to be deemed analogous to a limited partnership for Federal Income Tax purposes. The Dual Class LLC is structured to admit both active, management-providing members (“General Members”) in addition to more passive, capital-contributing members (“Limited Members”). In doing so, the members/owners acting solely as limited partners are not subject to the Self Employment (“SE”) tax.

Here’s how it works. The Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. Dual Class LLC is divided as follows:

Class A General Member Units: The smaller manager class receives a priority preferred return of income (for example, a management or sales fee arrangement) that is contingent on the profitability of the LLC. As such, it may not be a fixed compensation amount or it will constitute a guaranteed amount, which is prohibited.

Class B Limited Member Units: This portion of the LLC membership interests is the cash-contributing members’ interest and is structured as a non-manager class qualifying for limited partner status. This class receives a cumulative preferred-priority return of profits based on their unreturned capital contributions, whereas the smaller active manager class would not.

For example, assume a Dual Class LLC with three Members: Perry Manson and Samuel Adamson are Limited Members initially investing $50,000 each into the Dual Class LLC and Angela Dickeyson is the General Member and she is putting in “sweat equity” (future services) with an agreed-upon value of $50,000 over the course of two years. To the extent that Angela is providing services to the Dual Class LLC, she will be subject to the SE tax while Perry and Samuel will not be.

Form a Sub Chapter S Corporation with AmeriLawyer

Form a Sub Chapter S Corporation with AmeriLawyer published on

The Sub Chapter S Corporation is an attractive form of doing business because it combines the business and legal characteristics of a corporation with many of the income tax characteristics of a partnership. For flow-through of profits and losses to the owners, the Subchapter S Corporation is treated in a manner similar to a partnership. For other purposes, such as limited liability, distributions, redemptions and reorganizations, the Sub Chapter S Corporation is treated much like a regular corporation.

What are the tax benefits of a Sub Chapter S Corporation? A regular Corporation is subject to federal and state Corporate Income Taxes. Therefore, profits are taxed first on the corporate level and then again at the individual level of the shareholders to whom the profits are distributed.

This double taxation could result in a combined taxation rate of 70% or higher! A Sub Chapter S Corporation is exempt from federal and state corporate Income Tax, so that the earnings of the Corporation flow directly to the owners.

What are the requirements of a “small business corporation?” A small business corporation is a domestic corporation that:

– Is not an ineligible corporation (such as a bank, insurance company, possessions corporation or domestic international sales corporation);

– Does not have more than 100 shareholders (spouses and families are now counted as one shareholder);

– Does not have shareholders other than individuals, estates, certain trusts, or certain tax-exempt organizations;

– Has no nonresident alien shareholders; and

– Does not have more than one class of stock (i.e., has only common stock, not both common and preferred).

Starting a business is hard work, but that does not mean that it needs to consume your entire life. Let Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. relieve your stress so you can enjoy the freedom and independence that led you to start your own enterprise in the first place. Call us or Email us today so that we can serve you by setting up your Sub Chapter S Corporation.

Why Should You Form A Corporation

Why Should You Form A Corporation published on

The formation of a corporation as a business entity can help reduce your taxes and also provide peace of mind by protecting your personal assets. Here at Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. we want to help you Incorporate a Business and we have put together three advantages on how you can enjoy its benefits.

The most important reason to incorporate is to protect yourself from personal liability. When you incorporate, you are forming a legal entity that is separate from yourself as an individual. The Corporation has powers vested upon it that allows it to make all the decisions that an individual may make. For example, the Corporation may enter into leases, the Corporation may borrow money, it may buy goods and services on credit, and in all cases you are not personally liable for the transaction. If a problem arises, the only recourse would be against the Corporation, similarly, if anyone were to ever file a lawsuit for an action arising out of the business of the Corporation, that party would not be able to go after your personal assets such as your home, or car or boat etc., as long as you comply with the formalities of a Corporation. Therefore you have the peace of mind knowing that your personal assets are safe.

Tax Flexibility

One of the greatest advantages of forming a corporation is that you can elect to be taxed as a corporation. You could avoid double taxation of corporate dividends and profits by choosing Sub Chapter S tax status.
