Idaho LLC Flexible Tax Reporting

by | Oct 20, 2021 | Business Deductions

The IRS does not have a separate taxation category for Idaho LLCs. This allows the LLC members to elect at their own discretion a form of taxation that makes the most sense for their business.

While your taxes will change, the facts, ownership, and management structure will not.

For example, if you elect to have your Idaho LLC taxed as an S or C-Corporation, you will not have shares of stock to sell, or be qualified for an IPO. To receive the full benefits of an Idaho Corporation, you must formally convert your entire LLC.

Taxation choices include:

  • Sole Proprietorship (single-member)
  • Partnerships (two or more members)
  • S-Corporation (single or multi-member)
  • C-Corporation (single or multi-member)

 

Understanding Quarterly Estimated Tax for Your CDA Business

by | Oct 16, 2021 | Business Deductions

The federal income tax system is pay-as-you-go for Idaho self-employed. instead of paying your entire tax bill when you file your return, you pay your taxes in smaller payments throughout the year. This was designed to break your tax bill down into smaller easy to digest payments, instead of one large surprise you can’t afford at the end of the year.

Thus, if you are self-employed, you must administer the pay-as-you-go system yourself. You do so by paying quarterly estimated taxes.

The Basics:

You must pay quarterly estimated taxes if you have income from any of the following sources:

  • Income from self-employment
  • Compensation as an Idaho independent contractor
  • Gains from the sale of stock or other property
  • Royalties
  • Interest
  • Dividends
  • Awards
  • Any income where tax was not withheld

You must pay estimated taxes only if you owe $1,000 or more of tax at the end of the year more than what you have paid through employee withholding.

Example

Let’s say that you owe $13,000 in taxes at the end of the year, and you have already paid $11,000 through withholding – and $0 in estimated taxes. Because your tax liability is $2,000 greater than what you paid, you will face penalties for your failure to pay estimated taxes.
