If you elect for your LLC to be taxed as an S corp, you’ll be responsible for paying payroll and payroll taxes as well as filing a tax return for the corporation. As long as you pay yourself a reasonable salary, you only pay payroll taxes on the amount of your payroll, not on your profit distributions from the company. You’ll still pay income tax on your profit distributions, but you’ll pay roughly 15% on payroll taxes. As an LLC, you should earn at least $75,000 of net income
annually for this option to make sense. If you’re close to that, contact us to discuss your options.
Thanks to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, LLCs and S corps come with a relatively new tax benefit. Since 2018, these entities have qualified for a 20% deduction on “qualified business income” (QBI). This means some LLCs and S corps are only taxed on 80% of their pass-through income. However, the deduction comes with several limitations, and not all companies qualify. Talk to us if you’re curious about what it takes to qualify for the QBI deduction. REAP THE BENEFITS Whether you’re about to launch a new company or are currently doing business as a sole proprietorship or partnership, consider becoming an LLC or S corporation. These business structures protect you from personal liability and also offer incredible advantages unavailable to other entities.

KEEPING THE TEAM TOGETHER WITH MICROSOFT TEAMS
Even though it emerged onto the remote workplace communication software scene in 2017, like many other similar apps, Microsoft Teams has proven itself to be instrumental in keeping workplaces connected in a world distanced by the pandemic. In the early months of the work-from-home era, Teams had 75 million users daily. Once you see what the app has to offer, you can see why. No one likes spending a solid portion of their workday communicating with coworkers via email, especially when circumstances make it the only way to communicate with them. It’s just not an efficient way to stay in touch. That’s why the instant messaging feature, whether between just you and one other coworker or between large groups of workers, is so helpful. Plus, since OneNote and Office are fully integrated, you’ll never have to switch between apps to continue the conversation. You can even attach documents in the chat, all while continuing with your daily workload.

sharing notes and documents in the instant messaging part of the app. Additionally, one major plus for the Meeting function is that you can create a recording of the call for people who missed it. They can access it later for any useful information rather than asking their coworkers and taking them away from their responsibilities. For added convenience, use the integrated Planner feature to plan meetings with multiple people, forgoing the need for excess communication in the chats. Overall, the biggest benefit of Teams is just how user- friendly it is. No matter where you are, whether you’re using a PC, laptop, or smartphone, you’ll be able to access Microsoft Teams, even to view documents and jump into meetings. So, if you’re on the go, you’re not out of the loop. If you’re looking for a great app to boost communication and productivity among your employees, give Microsoft Teams a try today!
