A Personal Service Corporation (PSC) is a corporation providing personal services, like legal or medical, primarily through professionals, with specific tax implications.
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is created by submitting articles of organization to the Secretary of State in the relevant state. The individuals who own an LLC are known as members, which can consist of individuals, corporations, other LLCs, or foreign entities. An LLC can be established by a single member or multiple members, with no upper limit on the number of members allowed.
LLCs are commonly favored by certain professionals and landlords due to their corporate structure, which protects members (owners) from personal liability for the debts and obligations of the business. Additionally, LLCs offer flexibility in taxation, allowing owners to choose to file as a partnership, S Corporation, or even as sole proprietors, as the LLC functions primarily as a legal entity rather than a tax classification.
A Sole Proprietor is an individual who owns a business that is not incorporated or registered as a limited liability company (LLC) or corporation. This category encompasses freelancers, independent contractors, and many business owners who operate without partners. Household employers also fall under this classification.
A Trust is a legal entity established under state law that creates a fiduciary relationship. In this arrangement, one party, known as the Trustor, transfers legal ownership of assets (including property) to another party, called the Trustee, for the benefit of a third party.
The two most common types of Trusts are Irrevocable and Revocable Trusts:
Irrevocable Trust: Once established, the Trustor relinquishes control over the trust, meaning it cannot be changed or canceled. This type of trust is responsible for paying taxes.
Revocable Trust: This type of trust can be modified or dissolved by the Trustor during their lifetime. Because it can be changed at any time until the Trustor’s death, it is considered part of the Trustor’s estate and is subject to taxation.
Nonprofit organizations encompass Corporations, Trusts, LLCs, and Unincorporated Associations that meet the criteria for tax-exempt status under IRS Code IRC 501(a). Examples of nonprofit organizations include private foundations, educational institutions, public charities, veterans’ organizations, business leagues, homeowners and condominium associations, as well as PTA/PTO or school organizations.
Sole Proprietors, Partnerships, and for-profit organizations are not eligible for tax-exempt status.
A Partnership is an unincorporated organization made up of two or more members who participate in a trade or business venture and share the resulting profits. Partners can be individuals, corporations, trusts, estates, or other partnerships. Each partner contributes capital, property, labor, or expertise and expects to share in the business’s profits and losses. The Partnership’s tax obligations are passed on to the individual partners.
A C Corporation is a legal entity taxed separately from its owners, offering limited liability protection to shareholders. Created by filing Articles of Incorporation, C Corps can raise capital through stock sales and have no limit on the number of shareholders. However, they face double taxation on profits—once at the corporate level and again when dividends are distributed to shareholders.
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the IRS to identify a business for tax purposes. It’s required for businesses with employees, corporations, partnerships, and various entities like trusts and estates.
