Over the years, Melanin Tax Solutions has encountered various instances where clients, uneducated on the intricacies of tax laws and business structures, were overpaying on taxes. One example involved a client that established business as an LLC, accounted for all its expenses, but needed clarification on the taxes they had to pay. After a thorough review, Melanin Tax Solutions discovered that structuring the business as an S corporation, for the business owner to be able to better pay themselves and eliminate additional self-employment taxes could significantly reduce their tax burden. While this conversion required more paperwork and documentation, it benefited the client in the long run. This demonstrates how the firm's knowledge and experience can be applied to a client's unique situation, helping them explore options they may not have previously known about which can ultimately minimize their tax liabilities.
