It could definitely be beneficial to switch to an S-Corp to avoid the 21% corporate tax. Since an S-Corp is a pass-through entity, short-term capital gains will flow through to your personal return and be taxed at your ordinary income rate on your Form 1040. All things considered, this can still result in a lower overall tax burden.

With a C-Corp, profits are taxed at 21%, and if you pay yourself dividends, those are taxed again at your individual rate โ€” resulting in double taxation. So the C-Corp setup can sometimes be less than ideal. It also depends on how many and what types of shareholders you want the corporation to have. S-Corps have limitations in that regard.

Okay, thank you for the specifics. My corp has hodl'ed since '21, but I am about to branch into selling supplements for bitcoin and need to decide on these things, beforehand preferably. I will check out your website and reach out. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿš€๐Ÿค

Thanks! There are other tools you can take advantage of using the S-Corp such as paying yourself a W-2 wage (with payroll taxes being less than self-employment taxes) and contributing to retirement accounts all while lowering the businessโ€™ ordinary income that flows to you.
