Independent Contractor

Corp-to-Corp is similar to a 1099 in that you will receive a higher hourly rate.  However, in this case, you must have a registered corporation with a Tax ID number.  Your paycheck will be paid to your corporation, not you as an individual, so you will need to have a checking account under that corporation name.

Corp-to-Corp Pros:

  • No self-employment tax.
  • Using small business retirement plans, you can defer tax on a larger percentage of income.
  • Double taxation of earnings is avoided as compared to regular corporations.

Corp-to-Corp Cons:

  • Most complicated option. Much more bookkeeping and tax reporting required.
  • More difficult to organize and dissolve.
  • Some states have a minimum tax you will have pay regardless of profitability.
  • You must receive at least some salary from the corporation, which means the corporation is subject to payroll taxes and filing.
  • S-Corp shareholders pay tax on undistributed profits.
  • If you don't make the S-Corp election, you can get stuck with the 35% Personal Services Corporation (PSC) flat tax.
