Choosing a business type. Link and research. 

https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/38822

Sole proprietorship 

File 3 tax forms. Individual (1040), Schedule C which calculates profits and loss, and final numbers are put into 1040, and Schedule SE which calculates self employment tax cost. 

Allowed to pay self employment tax 4 times a year instead of all at once. 

Liable for expenses, damages, lawsuits. But a good insurance umbrella plan could cover this. 

First, must file a assumed name certificate with register of deeds in our county. Form attached.

Also need to copywriter or trademark my business name so no one else can use it. 



Corporation

File taxes separate from individual tax forms. AS a corporation. 

Pay double tax as a corporation. 

Must keep pristine records, keep all money 100% separate, probably hire someone to do it and taxes. 

Less liability but only if you follow all laws exactly.
