How would California know that a business paid me?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 13th, 2024 12:41 PM Author: ,.,,,. If I work as a contractor for a business in California and it asks me for federal w9 form and writes me a check. That w9 form obviously goes to irs. But how does California get that I was paid If I'm not asked to fill out any California state forms? On their California taxes are they somehow going to inform that they paid me specifically?

Here's an article: https://www.palmspringstaxandtrustlawyers.com/nonresidents-working-remotely-for-california-businesses/
In practice, it depends upon what the business does. You may have to ask if they filed a 1099 for you in CA. |

Basically the employer will send 1099-nec to california ftb if employer thinks source of income is from california. So I need to call the accounting dept of the group and ask them what they think is the source of my income if i consult from out of state. Whether I am a person or llc doesn't really matter. |

Seriously though, if you did the work in California you owe. If the work was not performed in California you don’t owe California anything. NOT LEGAL ADVICE. |

I am aware that a lot of consultants don't pay california by doing llc, they claim if they have 1 contract in Cali and 1 contract in another state they can justify their business is not local to california. Certainly it's not any harder to audit them if the hospital reports their ein to tax board. But does it? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5594169&forum_id=2/en-en/#48088318) |

|
Date: September 15th, 2024 12:04 AM Author: AZNgirl Buying Dad Pager from 'Goldberg Tech LLC' Determining the tax nexus for your Florida LLC in relation to its contract with a California hospital involves several factors. In general, nexus refers to a business connection or presence that requires a company to comply with the tax obligations of a specific state.
Nexus in Florida: If your LLC is based in Florida, employs people worldwide, and primarily conducts business outside of California, the nexus would generally be in Florida. This means your LLC is subject to Florida's tax laws and requirements.
Nexus in California: If the LLC has a significant connection to California, even if only through a single contract with a California hospital, California may assert that nexus exists. Several factors could lead to establishing a California nexus, such as:
Regularly doing business in California (even without a physical presence). A substantial portion of your revenue or services being tied to California clients. Employees, contractors, or agents working on behalf of your LLC in California. If the LLC's services for the California hospital are performed within California. If your LLC only has one contract with a California entity but performs work or has operations related to that contract within California, the nexus might be established in California, requiring compliance with California tax laws. This is especially true if the income is from activities conducted in California or the contract represents a significant portion of your LLC’s revenue.
The exact determination of nexus can vary based on specific factors like the volume of business, whether the services are performed in California, and the nature of the contract. You may want to consult a tax professional to confirm how California might view this arrangement and to ensure compliance with state tax laws. |

Date: September 15th, 2024 2:34 AM Author: ,.,,,. I guess then I must file their tax just the same as if I worker for NY(ny doesn't care 1099 or w2). Now I got a new idea. If this is a small part of my overall income (I am mostly w2) can I apply expenses specifically to this 1099 job. I.e. if I pay 10k to an accountant or 20k to a personal assistant can I write it off just against the california job? And does it make any difference if I make llc or if I just do write off as a self-employed? I.e. I could buy things just to write it off.

If I have a w2 job where I paid ss tax on 160k then I only need to pay Medicare tax on any self-employed 1099 income. But if I incorporate I will be paying extra 6.5% ss tax as an employer. So the accountant would benefit by getting more work, while I actually pay more tax by incorporating. In fact if you have children/assistants u can write off 1099 income by paying them without incorporating (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5594169&forum_id=2/en-en/#48091273) |
|
Date: September 15th, 2024 3:48 PM Author: .,.,,...,...,..,....,...,...,... The main benefit is that you can allocate part of your income as "salary" and another part as "dividends," and you only pay self employment tax on the salary portion of your income. It has to be a market rate salary for your line of work, though. You can't just pay yourself a salary of $1 and then report the rest as dividend income. Also, your risk of being audited is lower, and you may have better protection if you get sued. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5594169&forum_id=2/en-en/#48091454) |
|
Date: September 15th, 2024 7:19 PM Author: ,.,,,. So if you work purely 1099 u could save 10% fica on the 50% of salary that u do as dividends. But if u work over 160k as a w2 then u only pay Medicare as a 1099 but pay full ssn+Medicare as a corp. Llc does not protect a doctor from getting sued. It's just a source for accountants to get easy $$ from drs (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5594169&forum_id=2/en-en/#48092257) |
|
Date: September 17th, 2024 2:47 AM Author: .,.,,...,...,..,....,...,...,... My understanding is that you have the S corporation issue a W-2 to yourself. If you already maxed out Social Security on your other W-2, then you don't need to withhold anything for Social Security on your S corporation W-2. So you avoid paying Medicare tax on the portion of your salary that you pay as dividends.
And in my state, attorneys are required to incorporate as a PLLC, which does not protect you from malpractice liability. I would assume that this is the case in other states for doctors and other professionals. But you would need to figure out the rules in your state.
The final benefit of an S corporation is that sole proprietors get audited something 3-5 times more frequently than S corporations. I guess the IRS assumes that if you do the S corp paperwork correctly, you are less likely to be fraudulent. You can decide whether that's worth the hassle of setting an S corp. |

Date: September 17th, 2024 1:25 PM Author: ,.,,,. But if you have scorp you are both employer+employee. Seems you still pay as "corporate employer" 6.2% ssn and Medicare employee+employer tax. As a sole proprietor I don't pay any ssn tax if I maxed on w2. No most states do not require incorporation, I'm not from California.
I'm not going to do corp+ plus tile quarterly reports just because accountant says it's "safer". It actually needs to be ben3ficial to me. |
|
Date: September 17th, 2024 5:14 PM Author: .,.,,...,...,..,....,...,...,... I would check with an accountant. I would assume that you do not have to pay 6.2% FICA as an employer if you have already maxed out your SS on a W-2, but I'm not sure about the rules.
And you are definitely not required to incorporate. What I was saying is that in my state, if you do choose to incorporate as an attorney, you are required to incorporate as a PLLC, which does not protect you from professional malpractice suits. Apparently it would protect me if someone sued because they tripped and fell at my office (or any other liability that could result from my job other than professional malpractice), but that probably isn't useful if you are working remotely. |

My accountant doesn't know shit and tried to get me to pay double tax on roth conversion. I called him out on it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5594169&forum_id=2/en-en/#48101775) |

Date: September 18th, 2024 9:34 PM Author: ,.,,,. Yes weird that people who have only w2 or only 1099 don't know about this basic thing. 6% of 150k and after deduction is negligible amount. But what's fucked up is accountants get doctors like me to open scorp and end up hooked on their fraud. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5594169&forum_id=2/en-en/#48106672) |

Date: September 15th, 2024 4:06 PM Author: Wang Hernandez Once I got a 1099 for about 20k in legal fees from a referral I made. Never claimed it on my tax return. Neither feds nor California pursued me for it. Your results may vary. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5594169&forum_id=2/en-en/#48091492) |
