    Two reasons

    1) we don't have both of our names on anything except the marriage paper work.
    2) I thought I had to have a share holder. For the Share holder tax benefit.
    Or am I making it complicated.?

    You can do it budm dont let the nay sayers get to you. After you get your EIN number, i do my 2290 through trinity truck tax ( google them ).

    I started my LLC in April, worked my first truck for 4 months, saved up every penny, now i have 2 trucks running, ready for a third in a few months. Trucks are paid in full. Definitely the way to go, screw having payments on your trucks. Make sure you keep that great credit up and youwill be fine.

    Ok,
    The cpa won't talk to me untill I am setup. So I'm trying to do some research on basic taxes. And other stuff prior to the cpa meet and great.
    Its my understanding that the s corp tax option. Will allow for a share holder and a employee. They can be the same person. But don't have to be.
    It is also my understanding that the S corp don't pay taxes, except for payroll matching taxes. Leaving all the taxes on the share holder. And the share holder will pay taxes on all monies that's not spent on the business.
    So if this line of thinking is correct. My company will need two accounts. One for business and my personal one to receive my pay check minus taxes.
    Can the share holder set up a maintenance account and that money not be taxed. I'm thinking 0.18 perloaded mile to this account. Or does it all stay in the business account for 90 days, for the quarterly estimated taxes? And I just make a note some where how much it equals too?

    You have to notify the irs every single year that you want your llc to be taxed as an scorp. If you don't, then you're taxed as an llc/sole proprietor. Im not sure, but I think you can tell them you want to be taxed as an llc then if that year it works better as an llc jist file like that. Im not sure on that one as the scorp taxation has always worked out in my favor

    On you number 3. Trucking may not be that complicated but you need to find a CPA that has a full understanding of the trucking industry. You don't want the CPA to get his trucking education at your expense. Having a good, trucking knowledgeable CPA out the gate can save you a lot of money.

    Switching back and forth could be done I guess but you would have to start being paid that way from the beginning of the year. Checks must be deposited into the S corp account and if they come in after the first of the year the S corp would have income so a return would need to be filed.
    LLC means nothing to the IRS. I believe they have three entities they recognize, sole proprietor, S corp and C corp.
