Thank you for the info! It's been challenging finding tax information for high W2 earners with a side business. I'm in the process of looking for a tax consultant regarding S Corp election and now I have my answer. You explained it very well!

The answer is on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kufkdonBEU&t=740">12:20</a> . Thank you Navi for explaining this. I did not realize that there is a SS cap for the employee, but not the employer. BIG thank you !

This is the best video ever to explain why NOT having S-Corp make sense! Very clear, up to the point and no BS. Just one question left unanswered: Why higher profit, e.g. $250k, will make sense again? @Navi, is there other video explaining that situation? Thanks!

Hi, I came across this while browsing for videos regarding S-corp. I am glad I clicked on it, and I wanted to thank you for explaining things in simple terms. That said, I have now subscribed to your channel and liked this video.

Thank you. Can you kindly make a video on the scenario where one has a high W2 income but also a S corp profit beyond $250k or whatever amount that would justify having a S Corp.

Very very helpful video. I am a physician on W2 with a 1099 side gig contract. I was about to elect my LLC to be taxes S-Corp. After watching this video, I realized that S-Corp election would actually cost me money(which I was never told by my CPAs who provided me consultations with a fee).
