LLC vs S-Corp & Entity Choice
“As a consultant picking up contracts across multiple states, should I register my LLC in my home state or in Delaware?”
For a consultant working across multiple states, the choice between forming in the home state or Delaware often depends on where the business is actually managed, where clients are located, and whether the company will have a real operating presence outside the home state. Delaware is often discussed for legal and investor reasons, while the home state can matter more for registration, tax filings, and compliance in the places where work is performed. The practical answer often turns on state filing obligations, annual maintenance, and how each state treats income from multistate contracts. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.

“I formed a single-member LLC but forgot to get an EIN, can I just use my Social Security number on my Schedule C without issues?”
“I am transitioning my W-2 income into a consulting business, does electing S-Corp status actually lower my self-employment tax?”
“My solo business is making about the same as my old salary, should I switch from a sole proprietorship to an S-Corp?”
“I have a profitable side hustle on top of my day job, is it worth the administrative cost to form an LLC just for that income?”
