I am a Southern California business incorporation attorney with a master's degree in taxation. Based in Irvine, California, the Law Offices of Scott Kauffman provides legal counsel about business organization and incorporation. We serve clients in the greater Orange County area, from Huntington Beach and Santa Ana to San Clemente and Mission Viejo, and handle all aspects of tax law, including audits and tax fraud criminal defense.
Our firm has helped many self-employed business owners in Orange County lower their taxes and decrease their risk of an audit. The IRS loves to audit unincorporated small businesses. If you have gotten into tax trouble with your business, incorporation may be the answer. We handle all types of business organizations, including limited liability company (LLC), S corp, C corp, sole proprietor, franchises and partnerships.
A traditional corporation provides personal liability for the shareholders. However, a C corp is taxed twice -- both the corporation and the shareholder pay taxes. Incorporating as an S corporation provides the same liability but only the S corp shareholder is taxed, cutting the tax bill in half for many owners. The trade-off is that the S corp may not provide all of the deductions available to a C corp.
