Synopsis

2019 Edition just released! This edition includes the major tax reform from the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017 including Section 199A qualified business income deduction for small businesses.

How can I avoid self-employment taxes? This simple question was the inspiration for creating an article describing the benefits of an S Corporation. That original article, which was about four pages long, quickly became a book.

Our 2019 Edition of our book will show you-

• Entity Structure, Including Layering
• The Fallacy of Nevada Corps
• State Taxes, Nexus, FBA Problems, and Liability
• S Corp Benefits, Tax Savings
• Avoiding Self-Employment Taxes
• The 185 Reasons an S Corp or LLC Might Stink
• Forming and Operating an S Corp
• Late S Corp Election
• Determining Reasonable S Corp Salary
• Section 199A Business Tax Deduction
• Tax Deductions, Fringe Benefits, Kids on Payroll and Cars
• Properly Paying for Health Insurance
• Small Business Retirement Planning with Your S Corp

Each week we receive several phone calls and emails from small business owners and other CPAs across the country who have read our Taxpayer’s Comprehensive Guide to LLCs and S Corps and praised the wealth of information. Regardless of your current situation, whether you are considering starting your own business or entertaining a contracting gig, or you are an experienced business owner, the contents of this book are for you.

This book is written with the general taxpayer in mind. Too many resources simply regurgitate complex tax code without explanation. While in some cases tax code and court opinions are duplicated verbatim because of precision of the words, this book strives to explain many technical concepts in layperson terms with some added humor and opinions. We believe you will find this book educational as well as amusing.

About this title

About the Author

Jason Watson is the Managing Partner for the Watson CPA Group, a Colorado Springs tax, accounting and consultation firm specializing in small businesses and S Corporations. Jason has owned two small businesses in the past and holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. He also became an Enrolled Agent with the IRS in 2013 and passed the CPA exam in 2018. Aside from carrying the one in accounting class, his desire is speaking with small business owners and creating a dynamic map for the future. Jason enjoys talking about business planning, corporate structures, self-employment taxes, health insurance issues and retirement planning. He is quick to point out that while 70% of the all situations can be covered with the basics, every business and person is truly unique. One his Jason-isms is “every house has four walls and a roof, but inside, the things that are personal to you, are different than your neighbor’s.” Ask a question and have a dry erase board handy, and you’ll see the true passion of a person who not only wants to educate but also wants to see small business owners thrive. While this book is on LLCs and S Corporations can be labeled as shameless self-promotion, at the same time it truly came from Jason’s heart to help small business owners everywhere. Other than sharing a beer with other Colorado Springs CPAs and drooling on the latest IRS Notice, Jason likes dirt biking, boating in Wisconsin, watching the Packers beat the Bears (it never gets old), and running trails in Colorado. He used to also be a pilot for SkyWest Airlines, a United Express airline, but resigned in March 2015 to focus on improving the Watson CPA Group. Lastly and most importantly, he is a father of three wonderful, amazing and perfect children (posturing is the new past time in Colorado Springs) and is married to the Watson CPA Group’s founder and Senior Partner, Tina Watson, CPA.
