What are the ramifications of starting an LLC for freelance work in Michigan? -

I m a software developer who is, on top of my day-to-day job, doing some freelance web development work. I ve been advised by another developer on that project that I should start an LLC for myself and have the client pay my fees (payment for the development work) to the LLC rather than to me personally. I live in Michigan (where starting an LLC is a relatively simple process). What are the benefits / drawbacks to starting an LLC for this purpose? While I do occasionally perform outside work, it is not a major source of income (and, indeed, I ve never needed to claim any outside work on my taxes because most of what I do is pro-bono, this project excepted).

If you keep the paperwork clean, the major advantage of having an LLC as a solo operator is the ability to protect your personal assets (home, savings, etc.) from any potential liabilities of your business. If the business is sued and is an LLC, the recovery is limited to the assets of the LLC. If you remain a sole proprietor, a lawsuit can wipe out all of your personal assets as well.With a single member LLC, you are treated the same as a sole proprietor for federal income tax purposes, so nothing changes on this front.To receieve the liability limitation benefits of an LLC, however, you need to keep your paperwork current with the Secretary of State, keep a separate bank account, and keep your business and personal spending separate. (If you spend on a personal credit card, use an expense report to have the business reimburse you.)

annual filing fees of several hundred $, tax returns to fill out, other legal requirements like meetings and minutes, extra form on your 1040 - is it really necessary to have an LLC?

For tax purposes an LLC is disregarded. Your payers would *still* be required to issue you a 1099-Misc to your Name and SSN. You would report the income on your 1040 schedule C just like you always did.Your friend is NOT a tax preparer. In order to pay to another entity, you d have to go one step further, become a S corp, pay yourself a salary and file an 1120S. Then when you file, you use the W-2 *and* the 1120S schedule K-1 to do your taxes. The extra tax return is due March 15; the W-2, it s forms and your tax withholding have their own schedules, etc. You generally lose more money doing this than you save--one headache is you have to determine a reasonable salary and the IRS tends to think that s your net income until you get to $100K.And, oh gee, this is for fun, pro bono and you want an LLC for ONE paying gig? NO!Let s see $115 fee to the state to file the LLC.$90 to $500 to get sample legal paperwork to file the LLC.

Does UPS or FedEx deliver to Aramexs New York office mailbox location? -

Absolutely not. Neither UPS or FedEx deliver to post office boxes. They need an address. And a human to sign the receipt.

How do staffing agencies prevent cheating? -

I was always wondering how staffing agencies prevented cheating. If an individual gets employed at a work-site; what prevents that person from just going directly to the work-site and asking to be hired on without reporting it back to the staffing agencies? Can the staffing agencies monitor social security numbers to make sure a particular company isn t pay you without giving them a percentage? This always puzzled me how they can prevent loss of compensation without having some kind of technology that monitors payroll transactions from a person s social security number.

The employer signs a contract regarding that. Though it s unlikely to get caught, if they are caught it s bad enough that they really don t want to mess with it. Also, once someone gets hired, firing them is usually a pain. A temp agency person can be fired at a moment s notice, for no reason, so it makes for a good probation period.

It may vary from agency to agency,but temp. employees are not allowed to apply for jobs with the client while working there. An employer may ask the temp to submit an application for full time employment if they seem to be working out or if it is a temp to hire position. In such a case,the employer and the agency might enter into negotiations to buy the temps contract. The client employer pays the temp agency the wages plus agency fees,the temp agency then pays the temp worker the wages at the rate they contracted them for. If the client says they will pay $10/hr.plus fees,the agency may pay the worker the $10.00/hr. or less and pocket the difference plus the fees. The temp worker also has the option of terminating employment with the agency to take a job else where. Also the client has to tell the agency they offered employment to the worker.

They hire staffing to make fun of them or to have a retarded task done, they flat out wouldn t hire them. That s the lure of the staffing agency.
