Why would you post proof? We're all just internet strangers. With 500k gains, I'd get in touch with a tax attorney in your state. It'll cost you more than asking here, but my hunch is that you'll be able to save a lot of money down the road if that's the kind of gains you'll make regularly.
Because if people think I am a troll, I would not get serious answers. Is greentrader good? I heard mixed experiences hence why I haven't contacted a cpa yet. Any other recommendations or can someone answer my question that has experience? Thanks
The market volatility must have done wonders for you! You have till year end to look for an entity (I believe by this year you mean 2020).
This year has been amazing. Yes 2020. I read C corp is bad in California and S corp main benefits is health insurance and retirement plan. I am in my 30s so my health premium is only 2k a year which isn't much. I'm more wondering about the 59k profit sharing and retirement plan though
Why wouldn't you talk to a CAP and pay him 100 or 200 ? For this year you can stash up to 57K in SEP IRA. Other deductions may depend on whether you go thru std deductions or itemized. State hardly matters since you have to work on fed.
Quick comment re retirement plans. I don't know exact entity requirements or employee-count requirements, but you MUST look into a combo of a 401k-PSP (profit sharing plan) AND a cash-balance pension plan (which is a traditional ERISA pension plan, but instead of guaranteeing a fixed payment, it guarantees an amount, i.e., a cash balance). Here's a table that I quickly found on the net (it is NOT from the law firm or actuarial firm that we use) https://tra401k.com/cash-balance-contribution-limits/ Note that even at your age, the amounts you can sock away for retirement are much larger (and for us older folk, the amounts are HUGE).
