THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY

The Limited Liability Company or LLC is one of the newest forms of business entities in America.  While carrying the flow-through tax characteristics of an S-Corporation, it does not have member restrictions.  It is as such that the LLC is one of the best vehicles for company formation today.  As of late, what was once called the Delaware LLC is now commonly referred to as the Series LLC.  Its effect is to limit liability in to even greater degree and operate in a more organized capacity than the original form of LLC.  Since its first genesis in Delaware, multiple states have enacted Series LLC enabling legislation.

AN UPDATE OF THE NEW TAX LAWS FOR 2011 AND 2012

Given the challenges we face during this cycle of the economy, economists have predicted that in 2011 and 2012, the unemployment rate will hover above 9%.  With unemployment above 9% for nearly 2 years and a good portion of the unemployed being unemployed for 6 months or longer, Congress and the President acted on the needs of the country.  Many tax law changes have been enacted in 2010.  Among them are the Patient Protection and Affordable Healthcare Act, the Small Business Hobs Act, and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act.  Each law has it's own merit and own consequences and opportunities for the country and taxpayers.  On top of all these changes, others exist and deserve our attention.
