The Big Hidden Tax Benefits of Sole Proprietorship
I once taught a graduate tax class about choosing between an LLC and an S corporation. Probably for this reason, people frequently ask me about which entity form they should chose. “Is an S corporation better than an LLC?” they ask. “What about a C corporation?” others query.Options such as S corporations, C corporations and LLCs can be the right choice in certain cases. But the lowly sole proprietorship—an entity you form automatically merely by starting business

Choosing The Right Retail Technology Partner
Would you ask an unsuccessful person how to become more successful? Or ask a friend with a run-down car what the best vehicle is on the market? I would think not.So, it is suffice to say that you shouldn't ask a fellow retailer who is struggling with their business technology where to get software technology from. In more cases than one, you'll find they got software that didn't suit their needs, and have a retail service provider who isn't helping them succeed.So, you’re in over your head and you’re considering a route known as debt settlement (debt negotiation), whereby your creditors will agree to accept less than the full balance owed on your accounts. You’ve probably heard or read about many different opinions relating to debt settlement and you’re not sure if this is the way you really want to go. You’re probably also questioning all that you’ve heard and are likely confused and unsure of what’s fact and what’s actually fiction. So, let’s attempt to clarify the process of debt settlement by starting with the “bad.”

Obviously, your creditors will not accept less than what you owe them without a little pain on your part. Unless your accounts are already delinquent, don’t even attempt to work out a settlement agreement with even one of your creditors because it simply won’t happen. Period. Unfortunately, your accounts must be at a certain stage of delinquency prior to negotiating a settlement. If you’d like to attempt to work something out while your accounts are current, or even 30-60 days delinquent, I urge you to do so because at the very least y

n your part. Unless your accounts are already delinquent, don’t even attempt to work out a settlement agreement with even one of your creditors because it simply won’t happen. Period.

If you’d like to attempt to work something out while your accounts are current, or even 30-60 days delinquent, I urge you to do so because at the very least you’ll find out the truth and realize the end result won’t be pretty. So, yes this is one of the ugly components of debt settlement. Your accounts must go delinquent, and subsequently, your credit score will be reduced for a few months.

Perhaps you’ve also heard that you may have a tax liability as a result of debt settlement. True? Maybe. You see, creditors are required by the IRS to report all canceled debt over the amount of $600 on Form 1099. Now, you may or may not be liable for income taxes as a result of debt settlement due to the fact that an “insolvency” rule exists for individuals who are classified as insolvent at the time of their various settlements. In order to be considered insolvent your liabilities must exceed your assets. If you’re not sure where you stand, I recommend that you speak with your tax professional to find out if this is the case for you.
