| 0:00.0 | A lot of the myths that float around online about how you don't have to register an LLC |
| 0:03.7 | until you make $10,000. |
| 0:37.6 | There's no requirement. You can make $0 and get an LLC. There's nothing that says that you don't have to get something until you make $10,000. There's also nothing that says that you don't have to file taxes until you make a certain amount of money. Like I heard it's not even a business until it makes $10,000. No, no. if you make a dollar, if you lose a dollar, it's still a business. That advice is not only bad because you could be doing something illegal. The other thing that annoys me about this advice is that people are actually missing out on a big benefit of counting a business, for example, like if you're starting up and you've bought a computer or you started to pay for some software or you had to invest in some inventory and product to get your business off the ground. I really hope you're not listening |
| 0:41.3 | to any advice to not register your business until it's X number of revenue because you're |
| 0:46.3 | missing out on counting this as business expenses for your taxes. And if you have other income, |
| 0:50.6 | so if you're working another job, you can now reduce your taxable income and you |
| 0:55.0 | can even carry forward your losses if you don't have another business. There's actually a lot of |
| 0:58.9 | benefits to this too. You're listening to Yo Quiero Dinoero, a personal finance podcast for |
