Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about business formation and tax optimization.
How do I know which business structure is right for me?
The right structure depends on several factors including liability concerns, tax preferences, ownership plans, and growth goals. Our interactive quiz above can help you get a personalized recommendation based on your specific situation.
What's the difference between an LLC and an S-Corporation?
While both offer liability protection, LLCs are simpler to form and maintain with pass-through taxation. S-Corporations require more formalities but can offer self-employment tax savings for profitable businesses. The key difference is in tax treatment and administrative requirements.
Do I need an EIN for my business?
Yes, most businesses need an Employer Identification Number (EIN), even if you don't have employees. It's required for opening business bank accounts, filing taxes, and hiring contractors. Single-member LLCs with no employees can sometimes use the owner's SSN instead.
How quickly can I form my business with NexTax.AI?
