MYM #81 Lisa Bloomfield ~ Tax Information for Tax Season

Today we had a chat with Lisa Bloomfield from Wasatch CPA. Of course we talked about taxes something we all love. With the change of the administration and Covid 19 relief packages some things may be changing.

Should you be an LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp or a Sole Proprietor? Lisa shares that information with us and shows us why with actual numbers. This was very enlightening to me, I love it when people back up their information with numbers.

Lisa shares much more tax information for the side hustler, entrepreneur and small business person. Have a listen and learn!

Enjoy.
