This is not the case with an LLC that is treated as a pass-through entity. Whether you distribute your LLC profits to yourself or leave them in your company, you must pay selfemployment taxes on your entire share of LLC profits. In addition, firms that hire LLCs and pay them more than $600 per year must file Form 1099MISC with the IRS to report the amount of the payment. ) Generally speaking, hiring firms do not have to file Form 1099-MISC when they hire a corporation. For this reason, some businesses prefer to hire corporations instead of LLCs because they can avoid filing the 1099-MISC form altogether.
If you buy stock in IBM, for example, you don’t have to worry about IBM’s creditors suing you. But it often doesn’t work that way for small corporations. Major creditors (like banks) are probably not going to let you shield your personal assets by incorporating. Instead, they will likely demand that you personally guarantee business loans or extensions of credit—that is, sign a legally enforceable document pledging your personal assets to pay the debt if your business assets fall short. This means that you will be personally liable for the debt, just as if you were a sole proprietor.
However, as discussed previously, such “limited liability” can be more mythical than real. Setting up an LLC takes about the same amount of time and money as setting up a corporation, but an LLC is simpler and easier to run thereafter. With a corporation, you must hold and record regular and special shareholder meetings to transact important corporate business. Even if you’re the only corporate owner, you need to document your decisions. This isn’t required for an LLC. LLCs also allow more flexibility to allocate profits and losses among the business’s owners than corporations do.
