Default How do corp not pay taxes?

Im a noob.

I dont understand how corp don't pay taxes. It make sense that if they lose money during the year instead of making profit they shouldn't pay taxes. But how does one make his company lose money while he makes a (big) profit?

My little brain doesnt get it

They expense/invest their profits in other ventures so they show no net profit for the fiscal year,

Exactly, I should pay six figures a year in taxes by common definition, my tax attorney moves my money in a way that allows me to often pay less than $10,000 a year which is a massive savings.

Never ever show a profit. It's better to throw all the money in an ad campaign and hope for the best at the end of the year than give it to to the government and get nothing.

Get yourself a great business CPA and they will know what to do with your money.

A corp buys everything for the company and pays taxes on whats left.

An individual pays taxes on everything he earns and buys what he wants with whats left.

Very large fundamental difference. Pays to be a corp !

Multinational companies can do this by shifting profits to another (low tax) jurisdiction.

An S corp is very nice.

You take your income subtract your expenses(make some up also) and you get your net profit.
That amount goes to your individual tax return but doesn't get hit with SelfEmployment tax. a huge savings.

The one caveat however is that you should take a payroll from your Scorp in the amount of about %25 of your net profit. This should keep the IRS off your back.

My twin and I have an S type corp, you can get one set-up for about $550 or less depending on the what you need. Legal zoom dot com are top notch they get it done in about 7-10 business days. We had them do a C type a few years back but if you can afford the extra I recommend the S type.better overall options in the long run.

Yep; agreed except for one fact.......

NO and I mean NO anonymity with such services and as you know, anonymity on the 'net can be very, very important!

I do anonymity; Legal Zoom does not.

They have so many heads under which to show inflated expenses...further they also deploy profits in further expansion and thus claim tax deduction...
