Tax Trap #1: Waiting to Incorporate: What A Difference A Date Can Make

Written by Wayne M. Davies


Continued from page 1

For 2005, you must file a Schedule C forrepparttar period of January 1 through February 28, when your business was still a Sole Proprietorship. And you must also file a corporate income tax return for March 1 through December 31.

Maybe that's no big deal. Maybe you enjoy filing one business income tax return so much, filing a second one doesn't bother you. And it may be thatrepparttar 103485 inconvenience of filing two tax returns in 2005 is far outweighed byrepparttar 103486 legal and tax advantages of incorporating.

Keep in mind, too, that 2005 will berepparttar 103487 only year you have to do this "double duty". In 2006 you will only have to filerepparttar 103488 corporate income tax return.

But if you are thinking about incorporating,repparttar 103489 best time to do it, from a tax paperwork standpoint, is as of January 1. Only then do you have a "clean break" fromrepparttar 103490 old sole proprietorship torepparttar 103491 new corporation.

This timing issue can also be relevant if you decide to makerepparttar 103492 switch late inrepparttar 103493 year. Ifrepparttar 103494 effective date ofrepparttar 103495 incorporation is November 15, you will have to file a Schedule C for January 1 through November 14, and a corporate return for November 15 through December 31. In that scenario, you should ask yourself, "Dorepparttar 103496 benefits of incorporating outweighrepparttar 103497 convenience of waiting until January 1?"

So before you decide when to incorporate, take a moment to reflect onrepparttar 103498 tax reporting consequences of incorporating on January 1 vs. any other date.

Sometimes it may make sense to wait a few weeks (as inrepparttar 103499 second example), and sometimes it makes sense to "do it now", especially when January 1 is nearby.
