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.

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.

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
