W2 and LLC

I have a job where I get a w2 and I want to open an LLC. Can I put both things on my taxes? How does it work with business expenses and having a regular job?

W2 and LLC

If you have a Single Member LLC that has not elected to be a S Corp it is a disregarded entity and you file it on Schedule C in your personal tax return.  If your LLC is a S corp or another kind then post back.

 

You need to fill out schedule C for self employment business income and pay self employment tax in addition to regular income tax on it.  The SE tax is to pay Social Security and Medicare tax that wasn't taken out like on a W2.

 

You use your own name and ssn or business name and EIN if you have one.   You should say you use the Cash Accounting Method and all  income is at risk.  After you put in your income and expenses  if your net profit is $400 or more you will pay 15.3% for 2013  Self Employment tax in addition to your regular income tax.  The Schedule SE will be automatically filled out for it.

 

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Premium or Self Employed version.

Here is some IRS reading material……

You pay Self Employment tax on $400 or more of net profit from self-employment in addition to any regular income tax.  You pay 15.3% SE tax on 92.35% of your Net Profit greater than $400.  The 15.3% self employed SE Tax is to pay both the employer part and employee part of Social Security and Medicare.  So you get social security credit for it when you retire.
