<prompt> Human: Hello! I have worked as a stripper in various clubs across the US for the last couple years. Tonight one of my coworkers was telling me about how she is registered as an LLC under business relations or something similar. She was telling me how she is able to save a lot of money on taxes, and that she can even deduct her nannys paycheck because she is her employee. I was just wondering if this is legal and if it would maybe be a smart move for myself? I am currently considered an independent contractor but I would like to grow my business as I have also started making money selling nudes thru Instagram and Snapchat. What are the steps I would need to take to become an LLC? And what are some things I need to do to be successful and organized on the tax side of things?EDIT: Sorry for the delayed responses! I had just finished my shift and was home in bed when I posted this before promptly passing out in pile of cats. I kind of suspected that my what my coworker was doing isnt entirely legal. From most of the responses I am concluding that there may not really be any tax benefit to filing as an LLC. I did talk to an accountant earlier this year who a lot of the girls in my town go to, so instead of fumbling thru my own taxes this year, Im going to set up an appointment with him. Hopefully he can make sense of my disorganized records of deductions and income. Thanks for all the advice, I still dont really understand any of this but Im a little less confused than I was yesterday.Assistant: Registering as an LLC doesnt change your taxes. Incorporating as an S-corp would. I dont think you should listen to your coworker on this. The person to ask is a CPA with small business tax planning expertise.Human: What is an S-corp?  <response>: You need to talk to a CPA who can help you through all of this. Youll make back what you pay himher your first tax day.
