For the past two years I have been running a website as a sole proprietorship. Taxes have been absolutely brutal to me and I am looking to try to save money by incorporating. From what I understand, a single member S-Corporation (I am in California) would allow me to pay myself a "reasonable wage" and then pay whatever other earnings my website generates to myself as dividends.

So for example, as a sole proprietorship or an LLC if my website generated $100,000 in profit I would pay roughly 25-30% for taxes PLUS my self-employment tax of 15%. ... this would leave me with somewhere around $55-$60k. If I had this set up as an S-Corporation, would I be able to set a wage... say $30k for maintenance.... and then pay myself the rest as dividends free of any self-employment tax? This would mean.... 25-30% on 100k, and 15% on 30k... that would add up to around $65-70k as opposed to the $55-60

Am I understanding this alright? Are there other taxes I am overlooking?

We have rented this old house for a a year and a half. My mom recently came to visit and got bit all over by bed bugs. In Feb. we bought brand new couches and the bugs have laid eggs on them and we found them hiding in the couches so I think they have been there a while. We told the Landlord and he said it is not his problem to take care of. I thought landlords were supposed to pay for those types of things. Does anoyone know?

I can't remember the specific reasons. but i know if you want to sell a business building next to a wal-mart, you won't get a higher or equal price than if you sold it before the wal-mart.

I'm going to be showding this guy for a day, or 5 hours at the least. I have to have interview questions that I ask him and I'm not sure how many I should have. I don't want to have too little, but at the same time I don't want to hound the guy. How many do you think might be appropriate?

And I'm totally new to investing save for the mutual fund I started bout six months ago, so any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much =]

I thought I filed successfully through turbotax online for my 2005 W-2, but I never recieved a return. I absolutely need a copy of my 2005 return to allow my wife to get her visa, this is the only thing holding back the visa. The maximum amount I would owe to the IRS would be under $500. How can I pay this as soon as possible and get a copy of my 2005 tax return? How long would this take? And which way would be the most successful in terms of speed? Thank you for your time in reading this. -Shane

I need money badly enough to get into the adult entertainment. My girlfreind(first only and current friend), says that I'm really big.

This means I would do well in this industry, maybe.

But I only see jobs for women 18+ 19+ 20+. I would like to make money to (in Toronto).

Yes, It may sound nasty to middle class and up, but I'm poor so shut up if you're not as poor and have a creditor for every cell in your body.

I really just want design websites, but I have the knowledge, and no good computer.
