Under a certain amount of revenue, the double taxation treatment of a C Corp actually saves you money compared to the pass through taxation most people elect as an LLC. And by the time you’re making larger revenues, you’ll want to be a C Corp anyway.


How would that be?

You still have to pay yourself a reasonable salary which would be taxed at regular earned income rates.

And then for any dividends you pay yourself, you are going to pay corporate tax of 21% (after Trump tax changes hit) plus 15% or more capital gains.
