Corporations and artificial entities that conduct business, or earn or receive income in Florida, including out-of-state corporations, must file a Florida corporate income tax return unless specifically exempt. The return must be filed, even if no tax is due.\n\nCorporations and other artificial entities, including those located in other states, that are partners in a partnership or members of a joint venture doing business in Florida must file Florida Form F-1120 (Corporate Income/Franchise and Emergency Excise Tax Return). A partnership is required to file a Florida Partnership Information Return (Form F-1065) if it is doing business in Florida and a corporation is one of the partners\n\n-Dwayne

It depends on the state you are in.  The secretary of state will have informantion on what information needs to be filed with the secretary of state to form a corporation.  If you are not going to form it yourself, many times it is just as cheap to go to a local small time solo lawyer than to pay for these online incorporation services that advertise everywhere.

Well, you brought up a very common issue with respect to owners of corporations.  The IRS has a provision within the code that talks about 'reasonable compensation' - which means basically what it implies.  Typically, you see owners of corps paying themselves outrageous salaries and this provision puts a limit on that.  As far as underpaying owners, this provision acts in the same manner.  Therefore, if you were to be audited, the IRS would most likely rule that any distributions you may have taken are technically classified as salary, and thus, all related taxes including payroll taxes would be assessed.  So the easy way to answer your question is - NO, you do not need to pay payroll taxes if you have zero income.  BUT, the fact that you have 0 income is a flag in and of itself and you might be in line to get a letter from them inquiring about why you have no income.  From a technical standpoint, you should be paying yourself a 'reasonable comp' - which is arbitrary, but it should be in the ballpark of other taxpayers in the same business as yours.  Obviously, with a salary - you will then need to file your related payroll tax returns, etc, etc.

If you are offering a service for a fee you are a business.  The sales tax rules are state mandated not federal.  Check with your local state tax office. In Arkansas it would be the Department of Finance and Administration.  In Florida it would be the State Tax Collector's Office.

It depends on a couple of things.  First if the company is incorporated in that other state then yes you can.  Second if the company is not incorporated in that state, but does business in that state then yes you can.  Lastly if the company is not incorporated and does not do business in that state then you can not.  Also it depends on the contract (if one was signed or agreed to).  If the contract says that it can only be filed in a certain state, then it must be filed in the state that is listed.

Florida has some quite beneficial structures for businesses.  As well as a healthy, pro-business tax structure, Florida is also a "right-to-work" state.  This has a few nice benefits on the actual operational overhead issues if you are going to have any sort of staff.\n\nI am not certain if you are looking at full incorporation or an LLC structure, but there is a nice little FAQ on both for Florida here:\nhttp://www.floridaincorporationservice.com/pages/faq.aspx\n\nHope this helps!

To determine where a company incorporated, first try researching the state where you know the company to exist.  Most companies have to register with the Secretary of State, even in states in which they did not incorporate.  For example, a Delaware corporation with an office in California likely is registered in California as well.  \n\nThe state records usually tell you which state is the domestic state (or state of incorporation).  Once you determine the state, you can look up the company's information at the Secretary of State's website for their state of incorporation.\n\nThe most common states for corporations are Delaware, Nevada, California, Florida, and Texas.  If the first option above fails, try searching in these states.\n\nLastly, you can contact a corporate service company such as CRS (Corporate Research Solutions) and they have databases to search company names.  They can tell you all the states a company is registered in and where they incorporated.\n\nAn excellent website for the research is Registered Agent Solutions's website (www.rasi.com).  They have a Resource Center with a Business Entity Search option that has direct links to the company lookup websites for each state.\n\nGood luck!

You don't. The whole point of LLCs is registering with the state once and then doing business around the US. If you have retail presence, you must register to pay sales taxes.

Being in sales, the only tax you would have to pay is Florida tax if this company you ordered from charges tax.\nThey cannot charge you tax of their own state which you are not in. Now, if you're getting the item shipped to somewhere in PA, then yes, you'd have to pay.\nBasically, you pay tax (if charged) to whatever state you're shipping to.\nJust to be sure, I would check with the company or organization you are ordering from. Many companies have their own policies.

Yes . . . owing taxes (franchise tax board) is NOT a limitation for qualifying as a California employee. . .

Yes, the company can have a bank account wherever it wants to. The state of incorporation is irrelevant.\n\nLikewise, income is taxed based on the state(s) of nexus, which is based on the states in which the company has sales, payroll and property.\n\nDE also assesses tax based on the # of shares and the par value of the shares outstanding.\n\nYou can follow the link below to read more about how CA assesses tax on 'foreign' (non-CA) corporations, and the process of apportionment of income

I think there may be confusion, because of they way your question was phrased.    This is what I understand your question to be: \n1 - You are the FOUNDER of the LLC. \n2 - You are NOT legally required  to pay into the State workers compensation program, i.e. because you are an only employee, or have less than the # of required employees on your payroll. \n\nIF the above if correct, then your answer is technically "yes", here is the REASON WHY: \nWhen you founded the LLC Corporation, that corporation is a Legally SEPARATE AND DISTINCT "person" from yourself.  You and the corporation are TWO SEPARATE  "persons".  You are recognized as a "natural person", whereas your LLC Corporation is viewed as a "Legal Person".   In essence, you would be suing the LLC Corporation and NOT yourself. \n\nIf you plan to hire additional employees and need help with workers comp claims from an EMPLOYER'S standpoint, you may want to bookmark http://www.50StatesWorkCompClaimReview.com \nHope this helps.

It depends on the country and If you are using a moneycorp account or just your American bank account. I built a company to invest in Dubai, UAE for example where there are no capital gains taxes nor income taxes. whichever state you live can still impose taxes upon your profit however, so that is where the offshore or moneycorp account benefits you.

Depending on your state.  Most require nothing.  I cant say for sure though that all are that way.  Check out your states Secretary of State website, and they can provide you with more information.  Example of a search would be California Secretary of State, which is in this case http://www.ss.ca.gov\n\nIt would still be a good idea to set up a small corp, such as an LLC to offer you financial protection.  Say for example your art work gives someone a paper cut and it gets infected and they die, your personal assets would be protected if you have set up a corp properly.  Its not expensive to do (maybe $100-200) if you get a good book and do all the filings with your state yourself.\n\nGood luck on your new company!!!\n\nEdit:  A business licence has nothing to do with filing or dealing with taxes... Unless of course you open a corp and have to pay corp taxes (LLC's taxes in California are $800 a year).  You would just claim the income on your personal taxes under the MISC INCOME portion.  If you have a Corp you will get a K-1 from that corp with your earnings.

If you are asking about the tax rate it wil be determined by how the specific entity is structred. S-Corps and C-Corps are taxed at the lower personal rate while LLC's are taxed at the higher corporate rate.
