Determining whether a California worker is an independent contractor or an employee has never been an exact science, with a lot riding on correct classification. The California Supreme Court recently tried to simplify the issue by adopting a new "ABC" test for California for claims under the IWC Wage Orders for minimum wage, overtime pay, and meal and rest period violations.   

Learn about these important changes in this episode of the Bottled Business Sense Show.

Although a trust can be a permitted shareholder in an S corporation, only certain kinds of trusts are so permitted under Section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code. If a trust is not one of the trusts specifically authorized by the Internal Revenue Code, however, and becomes a shareholder, the Corporation ceases to be a qualified S corporation and will be taxed as an ordinary C corporation. Thus, when a Living Trust becomes the owner of S corporation stock, there can be resulting difficulties for both the Grantor’s heirs and for the S corporation itself if an estate lawyer is not involved.

The main reason people form LLCs is to avoid personal liability for the debts of a business they own or are involved in. By forming an LLC, typically only the LLC is liable for the debts and liabilities incurred by the business—not the owners or managers. However, the limited liability provided by an LLC is not perfect and, in some cases, depends on multiple factors, including in what state your LLC is formed. 

Tune in to learn more.
