(v) Federal Income Tax advantages and disadvantages The income of the partnership is divided between the partners according to an agreement between them in their profit sharing ratio after deducting partner’s salary and interest on capital. There is pass through taxation, which means that there is no income tax on partnership firm but income tax is charged in an individual capacity on total share including salary and interest received by each partner. The disadvantage associated with partnership is that sometimes business grows to large and share received by partner is less and if his other income is higher, partnership share received is also taxed at higher rates of federal income tax.

There is pass through taxation. It means there is no income tax on partnership firm but income tax is charged in an individual capacity on total share including salary and interest received by each partner. The disadvantage associated with limited liability partnership is that LLC owners must pay taxes on their distributive share of the profit of the company, even if they have not received a distribution of those profits and sometimes business grows to large and share received by partner is less and if his other income is higher, partnership share received is also taxed at higher rates of federal income
Partnership – “A legal entity formed by two or more co-owners to operate a business for profit.” (Longenecker, Petty, Palich, Hoy, Pg. 202) In a partnership, the advantage for the owners is the capability to reduce the workload and the financial burden, especially if each partner has management skills that enhances the business. The disadvantages of a partnership such as personal conflicts and leadership expectations, therefore this organizational form should only be chosen once all other options have been considered.
LLCs must typically pay more fees to file as LLCs compared to some other business entities or sole proprietorships. Additionally, many states require yearly renewal fees. However, these fees are usually less than what some other corporations have to pay. Because of the protections afforded to LLCs, some types of businesses are ineligible to file as LLCs. Banks, insurance companies, and medical service companies are examples of businesses that can not be a LLC. Another big disadvantage is taxes. Although LLC’s allow owners to avoid federal taxes, you may actually end up paying more than it would with a different corporation, depending upon the nature of the business. Working with an accountant and/or tax lawyer is a really good idea when planning your business and forming your LLC but can also be quite expensive. The LLC business form is a relatively new concept. As a result, not a lot of cases have been decided surrounding LLCs. Case law is important because of predictability. If you know a court has ruled a certain way, you can act in a specific way to protect yourself. But if not many laws have been established yet, there is a certain vulnerability with your corporations that could expose you to greater
The disadvantages for a limited partner are no different. Let’s begin with illiquidity, because it could take months to sell the limited partnership shares. Second, while real estate tends to maintain or increase in value, there are also times of declining property values as well. Third disadvantage is management problems. The decisions made by management can affect the investors who are blissfully unaware of the happenings because they are not involved; meaning an limited partner, while not involved in the paperwork, still needs to be aware of the actions taking place. Another disadvantage is lack of tax shelter, while the limited partnership provides a tax advantage with regards to business tax, the income still is included as personal income. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the ability to use losses on real estate investments from income dividends and interest, basically dissolving the tax shelter aspect of real
The limited partner only risks what they invested in the business. The downside is if the limited partner becomes active then they could potentially lose personal assets. The S corporation is a more favorable tax option on income. The disadvantage is there is certain requirement that must be met. The LLC is a great option. With this type, the risk is only what is invested unlike sole proprietorship. It is easy to set up, and has tax advantages. The downside is if a corporation wanted to switch to C, it would have to pay additional taxes. I do believe the option they picked is best for them at that time. C has tax advantages. If they started with LLC and later wanted to change, it would cost them. C is a great way to get capital as well.
However, the concerns of partnering with a firm can lead to exploitation or copy/take away proprietary, competency, technique or technology, which will harm future long term gains.
Forming a C Corporation for Mr. Jones’s business is the recommendation. A C Corporation is a separate legal entity and has many advantages and disadvantages to do so. Making Mandy a 40% owner to start allows for a smoother transition of ownership should Mr. Jones decide to leave the business, or should he pass away. Doing so helps to avoid the ‘gift tax’ if she were not part owner when the business was established, and it would also help to avoid estate taxes if Mr. Jones passed away. With our recommendation the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

The largest being, that if you even want to start one, it requires and ridiculous amount of start-up. Another depressing fact is that corporations can get taxed twice. Once when they make a profit, and then when they split it. Last but not least this option is highly regulated and there is a seemingly endless amount of paperwork involved. On a lighter note, the disadvantages of an LLC are much more feasible. The biggest bummer about owning an LLC is that you have to pay a self-employment tax. But when you think about what the tax is for it makes sense. The other disadvantage is that the shelf life for an LLC is shorter than the other

There are many important parts to a relationship strategy. “A relationship strategy is a well-thought-out plan for establishing, building, and maintaining quality relationships” (Manning et al, 2014, p. 35).

Deciding how important decisions are made is crucial in any business structure, but even more so when there is more than one owner. Therefore, the partnership agreement mandates how the owners will make decisions by either unanimous vote or by majority vote. Capital contributions include funds provided by the partners to be utilized in the business. The partnership agreement dictates how much each partner will contribute to the business as well as plan for future financial obligations. Salaries and distributions are often classified as partner withdrawals and profit/loss allocation. The partnership agreement establishes when money is available for withdrawal and how much of the profits and losses are allocated based on capital contributions. All business entities should be prepared for worst-case scenarios involving death, disability, and dissolution. Deaths and disabilities are untimely, so the partnership agreement outlines who inherits the partnership’s assets through trusts and wills. Dissolution is never a pleasant topic to think about in the beginning, but it is essential nonetheless. The section inclusion in the partnership agreement enables the partners to be prepared in the event that a dissolution does occur (Neville
