LLC vs S-Corp & Entity Choice
“I am planning a massive liquidity event by selling my tech company next year, what aggressive steps should I take now to minimize my impending capital gains exposure?”
A planned sale of a tech company next year can raise several tax considerations, and the answer often depends on the entity structure, the type of equity being sold, and how much of the value is tied to appreciated assets versus goodwill or intellectual property. Timing of the transaction, prior entity elections, and any pre-sale restructuring can also affect how gains are characterized and reported. In many cases, the surrounding records, purchase agreement terms, and state tax exposure matter as much as the headline sale price when evaluating capital gains exposure. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.

“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?”
