[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 26050453, member: 20480"]Since this thread seems to have wandered into a new topic, I'll offer a sometimes useful tip in this regard. To simplify my life, I have enough extra withheld from my paycheck at my full-time job to more than cover the profits I expect to make from the business. Because ToughCOINs is an S-Corp, I need do nothing special to pay company liabilities out of withholding from my ordinary income . . . i.e., company profits are viewed as personal income in my tax preparation. Because I live in NH, and there is no income tax, I only need to pay business profits tax, which is an easy calculation at year end. Not every coin dealer has the luxury of being able to use this approach as not all work another job besides, but following are the benefits I enjoy as a result: [LIST] [*]No need to compute and hold aside the funds needed to cover the tax bill. [*]Relief from summarizing and filing quarterly, or paying someone else to do so. [*]Relief from stressing over the above 4 times per year . . . just once is enough for someone who has another job. [/LIST] In the nearly 20 years since I started the business, there was only one year when my withholdings fell short of my total tax liability (FTJ and ToughCOINS combined). Compensating for that shortfall was uncomfortable, but that solitary issue was easily forgotten until I wrote this post.[/QUOTE]
