Which state should I incorporate in?

Here, let me point out how absurd that is for you

"China is a great country, if you ignore the governance structure, orwellian surveillance and general lack of civil rights."

 

It's hilarious that what I'm getting at is still going over your head. Let me explain: we're grown up business owners. We know how taxes work state to state. We know how different state governments can affect that. You don't need to "live in New York, or know someone who does", in order to understand that.

 

Kind of gets back to what I said at the beginning. No point in incorporating in a foreign state when you still have to pay the taxes where you do business.

 

Well yes it does. But the op only wants to hear his idea is great.

 

It was a great state but not much great about it anymore.
