Q. Hello, May I ask a simple question about my business? I have been in business for about 3.5 years now, and my LLC is in North Carolina. The LLC has been dissolved for quite some time, and during the past two years I have been in Virginia. I have found much success after my business has been hacked and I will be paying to resolve my LLC. Before I do, I am wondering should I resolve my NC LLC or make a new one in Virginia? I have done two years of business of tax returns from North Carolina and all my accounts (shopping accounts, Shopify, Etsy, Ebay and Amazon) all have my NC LLC. It wouldn't be a big deal to change the LLC on these accounts, but I wanted to run this by an accountant before making my final decision regarding what LLC I should move forward with. Thank you!

Q. I would like to know which forms I need to file for tax déclaration as a freelance marketer. My company is registered in Wyoming and I bill my hourly fee and extra costs I spent such as flight tickets to the companies. I don’t want to pay tax on the costs.
Use Schedule C to report freelance income and expenses, excluding any reimbursed costs to prevent taxation on those expenses. Best regards, FlyFin Team.

Q. I am an international student on f1 visa, I am a citizen of India. I have been here in the US for the past 7 months. I have a summer internship lined up in an early-stage startup, on a 1099 contract. It has been approved by my DSO (school) as CPT, Do I have to pay the self-employment tax (~15%)? I read that F1 students are exempt from FICA taxes for the first five years, and since the self-employment tax is basically FICA (right?), I would like to know if I am exempt from it. I would be interning in Texas which does not have state tax. So I believe I would only have to pay the Federal tax? I just want to have an estimate of what all taxes I would have to keep aside before negotiating for the stipend.
Correctly stated, F1 students are generally exempt from self-employment tax (similar to FICA tax) for the first five years in the US, if they meet the substantial presence test. Since Texas does not collect state tax, you would likely only need to pay Federal tax on your stipend. Refer to this link for additional information.

Q. I am self employed transitioning to LLC S Corp status this year. I am in sales and use a vehicle that is in my name every day for business purposes. 15k miles a year probably. Does it make sense for me to try and transfer the loan on the car to my LLC? Or should I create an expense account and pay myself back for the use of the car? Also, for parking and tolls and travel can I just have those expenses linked to my buis cc card to save headache there? Home office: I assume that is handled as an expense I pay back to myself monthly as well? My home office is about 10% of the size of my apartment. It seems convoluted to pay myself back though as I had to get a buis license and zoning permit from my city for the llc to have the home office so why would I “rent it from myself”? Thank you for this information
Consider establishing an expense account for vehicle costs and reimbursing yourself for business mileage. Utilize the IRS standard mileage rate for calculation. Connect parking, tolls, and travel expenses to your business credit card with proper documentation. Deduct a portion of home expenses for a home office based on the square footage used exclusively for business. Avoid renting it from yourself. Keep detailed records for tax purposes.

Cleaning services
Q. Hello, In 2014 I was hired to clean my husband's office building for $400/month. However, in 2023, my two oldest kids (ages 14 and 16) took over the cleaning and received 100% of the income. For the sake of simplicity we kept it in my name so the checks still come to me, but I then transfer the money to their accounts. Since their annual earnings only come to $2,400 each, they shouldn't owe any tax....correct? Nor should I since I kept $0 of the income earned. I do not have an EIN or registered business name. How do I go about filing for each of the kids since they don't have an official 1099 from me? Thanks so much for your time. Christina
If your kids earn $2,400 or less in 2023 for cleaning services, they typically won't have to pay federal income tax. There is no tax liability for you as you didn't retain any of the income. For help with filing taxes for your children without an official 1099, seek advice from a tax professional.

Q. My friend is working for Remotasks as software developer which gives him a 1099 form (and he pays tax on that). He doesn't have a PayPal account (which is the form of payment they pay out in) and can't create one, so he wanted to use mine. Would I still pay tax on PayPal?
If your friend opts to use your PayPal account for receiving payments, you may find yourself responsible for taxes on that income unless they declare it. Collaborating on a PayPal account for income brings about financial and tax impacts. For reliable tax filing aid as a 1099 contractor, contemplate using FlyFin for swift filing, increased savings, maximum refunds, accurate filing, and timely submission.
