I have a chance for my corporation (a legal Type S corp) to earn $5,000 -- but I will have to buy almost $6,000 in equipment to do the job, so I will end up losing money in the short term. Does this $5,000 gross income for the corp count against me for unemployment? Or does it not because the corp is making no profit (and I am not paying myself a salary.)
      Answer1:bno
      Answer2:You arent really unemployed if youre starting your own corporation, dude.
      Answer3:if your not making money then you will not have to claim it on your unemployment form. as soon as you do make money, you have to claim any income.
      Answer4:they would qualify your eligibility for unemployment insurance based on any "gross" income generated a business... that means it wont matter if your taxes at end of year shows loss in business income.
      Answer5:Two college students are doing something that has never been done before by putting everything you need to run a business in one place,they call it: Business Empire Magazine

Is this allowed, and what are the tax implications?
      Answer1:HIts not a problem, and all you have to do is account for the extra income you earn from your new business against your current salary. If you earn £26k from salary then another £10k from your business, then after you have taken out all of you costs for materials etc from what you pay you self you will have to pay NI & Tax if straight forward sole trader, but if you think you are going to made a lot of money then there could be advantage in being a limited company.your best bet is to go and speak to a good accountant, they can save you more than they cost.
      Answer2:business and newshttp://yugtran.info/
      Answer3:I started my own business working from home and ran it alongside my then employment. Now I have given up the employed job to concentrate on the business.As far as tax is concerned, you will have to keep accurate records of income and expenditure, but remember if you have your own business there are lots of tax advantages that you can use.Without knowing what you are planning it is impossible to go into details but you should talk it all over with an accountant.If you would like to get back to me by email, I can show you a bit more about my business and the tax advantages that I get.Douglas

online childrens clothing business. Do you think its worth it? I want to make things like hair bows, tutus, t-shirts, ect for kids. I know there are a quite a few of these types out there already so I dont want to waste my time if Im not going to make any money. I will probably do some used clothing sales, diaper cakes and cute stuff for boys since nobody seems to have that. What do you think any other ideas? Thanks. Im just looking to make maybe $300 a month Id settle for $200. Do you think that is doable? Answer1:If you can do a better job of solving your customers perceived needs than the folks that are already out there you can succeed. Just look a Amazon. They went into an established business (book selling) and became a major vendor. Another example is Home Depot. One final example of a company starting up in a field filled with established competitors and making it big -- WalmartIn order to succeed you will have to give your customers a reason to do business with you. It could be better prices, a better selection, unique merchandise they cant get elsewhere or perhaps "cute stuff for boys". Based on your question about keeping your money separate it sounds like you know nothing about financial record keeping and taxation. The Small Business Administration (www.sba.gov) has some free and low cost booklets including one on financial record keeping that you should study. You should also check the IRS web site (www.irs.gov) which has a wealth of information about including detailed instructions on what and when to file various forms.I wish you well Jerry-the-bookkeeper
