6. Reinvesting Profits There’s another twist regarding the LLC, S Corp and your taxes. As pass-through entities, individual owners of an S Corporation or LLC are liable for any taxes owed on profits — whether that money is retained in the company or put in their wallets. For example, if you own 50% of an S Corporation or LLC and that company makes $80,000 in profit, you need to report $40,000 in income on your personal tax return. And it doesn’t matter whether that $40,000 actually ended up in your pocket. This is known as “phantom income,” and can obviously cause a problem for some shareholders. What to know: If you plan on retaining money in the company (and would prefer not to have shareholders be personally taxed on this money), you should consider the C Corporation over both the LLC and S Corp. Of course, your specific situation may vary, so it’s always best to consult your accountant.
