Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You have a lot of questions- I'll tackle the first one.

 

Question 1) Should I form an LLC and/or S Corp for my 1099 job?  Or what should I do?   

 

Answer: Firstly check with your contractor/employer since it might not allow payment to an LLC or S Corp. If allowed, then an LLC with an S Corp election (IRS form 2553)  is probably the best way to proceed in that it will likely help save on self-employment taxes. However with the benefit comes more paperwork such as filing an S Corp tax return-Form 1120s and all required employment tax returns since under S Corp rules you will be required to take a fair market W2 salary from the S Corp.
