Tax Guru – Ker$tetter Letter

From a reader:

Subject: Tax Time Entertainment!

Hi Kerry (aka Tax Guru),

Two things:

a) Love your blog! I just started following you, and I really appreciate the great content you put out there for tax-conscious humans like me. Keep it up, and I will continue to be a loyal follower!

b) I am a big tax nerd who really wants to help make tax time as painless as possible, so along with my accountant friend Josh of Westwood Tax & Consulting, we are creating a series of easy-to-follow, and more importantly, entertaining tax videos to break down the terrifying monster under the bed, and show people that taxes are not so scary.

If you could take just 2 minutes (ok, one and a half) to check out our latest episode (the beginning of a series for entrepreneurs) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iInAJl_DO2o, and let me know what you think, I would be much obliged. I gladly welcome any feedback you have, and I would ask you to consider incorporating these videos into your site or a post to spread the Tax Yak series to people who would get the most out of them.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Paige:

I finally had a chance to check out your video, “Sole Prop v. LLC v. S-Corp” and you are correct that it is very entertaining and well produced.  I will be glad to post a mention of your videos on my blog and encourage others to subscribe to your YouTube channel, as I have done.

From a technical content perspective, I have always been a big fan of C corps, and was wondering why you failed to include that as one of the optional entity choices.  I have long found people jump right into S corps without considering all of the consequences, so I wrote an article comparing C & S corps a long time ago.  I still receive a lot of positive feedback on it.

You might want to do a video on this.

Thanks for sharing your video channel and keep up the excellent work on them.

Follow-Up:

Hey Kerry,

Thank you so much for taking time to check out the video and for your feedback. I enjoyed your article very much, and I do agree that C corps are a good option for businesses. In fact, we  work with several C Corp clients, but we decided to skip it in this video for due to time constraints. And the majority of our clients are LLC’s, S Corps and sole proprietorships so we wanted to focus on them. We are discussing on doing a video on C corps per your suggestion. I’ll let you know the progress!

Thanks!

Paige
