MenuWould it be tax compliant to say income is sourced in Puerto Rico if a PR co wholly owned a NV LLC (no employees) and all revenues flowed thru to PR?
The Nevada company’s only purpose is used to get merchant processing since banks won’t underwrite a PR company. All owners live and operations are done in PR.
Second part of this would be: If no, then could the PR company pay the NV company a fee to manage the merchant processing, so then it becomes more of a vendor relationship (eg NV charges a 1% fee to manage processing, so all funds flow thru to PR company minus 1%.)
Answers
It depends on the type of business product or service. If it is a service basis company, and all the services have been done by the owners in PR, then the income would be not the U.S source of income.

Can my S-Corporation receive a 1099 on my behalf?
The income should be reported by the individual or business that provided the service and earned the income. If the 1099 is in your name, you could ask the issuing Company to change to the S-Corp if that is who earned the income. In the future, have a written agreement between your S-Corp and the Company you are providing service. Also, provide them with a Form W9, so they know where to report the 1099 income at year end.Chad ShultzCS

How are SaaS companies taxed?
Same as any other entity (or person). Entity pays taxes in it's domicile jurisdiction. Best you talk with a tax preparer in your home country to ensure you have all the details. And... If you're a US citizen + your SAAS company is generating massive cash, likely best to organize your entity in a low tax jurisdiction, like Bermuda which is home to Google, Intel, Verizon, etc. And... best wait till Trump's new tax bill passes. If he has his way, corporate taxes may drop to a point low enough to keep your business in the US.David FavorDF

Are promissory note installments considered capital gains? I'm selling my website and would love insight on the financial details.
Yo are talking apples and oranges. Capital gains are related to your basis not the form of payment. If you are a cash basis taxpayer, you pay taxes when you receive cash beyond your basis. We can help you with structure.James HaftJH

Which is better 1099 vs W2? See details...
I'm assuming you're talking about yourself, working for another company? The first thing to consider is that a "1099" is NOT an employee, rather an "independent contractor". The IRS takes it seriously when a company claims 1099 contractors, when in fact, these contractors are treated as employees (the IRS wants payroll tax and will fine companies that miscategorize). To be a 1099 contractor, rather than an employee (W-2), you must have complete control over your schedule - when you work, how much ect. There are other criteria, but this is the main one - you must clearly not be treated the same as an employee. The other thing to consider is that if you are a 1099 contractor, you are responsible for paying and submitting your own income tax and self employment tax to the state and the IRS. It is more advantageous for a company to pay you as a 1099 contractor as they save paying employer portion of payroll taxes. Also you will not count as an employee for the Affordable Care Act (which impacts companies with over 50 employees). Hope this helps. KathrynKathryn CooperKC
