Here's the latest guest blog post from web designer, Jill Anderson of Jill Lynn Design, a long time Marketing Mentor client who's often sharing what she's learned about running her own business. This time it's about whether to be an S Corp -- mine is too, BTW. Enjoy!

Are you stressing about tax time?

Dreading the big check you might have to write?

I’ve been there.

But many years ago, I learned my lesson.

Being a sole proprietor wasn’t working for me—and after a chat with my CPA—I found a better tax election for my business: the S Corporation.

Why I love being an S Corporation

• I’ll never have to write the government a 17k check again.
• I get a W2. I’m an employee of my company.
• It creates separation between the business’s money and my personal money.
• It makes end-of-year taxes easier.

Ultimately I got rid of something that wasn’t working for me, and found something that was. It’s one of the reasons I love being self-employed—because I get to make these decisions!
