Setting-up An LLC Organization

Post by dlangdev »

I'd like to ask what your thoughts on filing for an LLC organization?

It occured to me recently that some of the expenses I have incurred were made for non-personal use, what do I mean by that?

Well, maybe I can sort out these expenses by simply sorting them according to how they were used. By that, I will have to file for an LLC organization and put all those expenses for that objective.

What's your opinion about separating expenses according to personal and non-personal activity?

What would be the legal (i.e. tax) implications that I need to be aware of?

Thanks.

Hi lostclimategames,

I did some Googling and found some information relating to setting up an LLC.

In my state ( Oregon ), the state, local and city gubmint is requiring me to file a Statement of Organization ($50 fee). Then I need to go to the local and apply for a business license ($80 + $25). And then I need to go to the Beaverton city hall and get another license ($150)

That's probably what will it take to get me on legal ground. All that will be done at home, since I mostly do it there.

I also found out getting a license for an LLC located at your domicile is a little rigid and strict as compared to a non-residential area. The permit is called HOP.

Then the tax part. Hmmm, not sure about that as I have not done anything close to that.

How do I do declare my LLC deductions?

I think I can deduct those expenses incurred to an account that I need to setup?

update:

The Secretary of State website offer several ways of registering an LLC. The one I took was the online route and registered the name using their online application system.

It turned out, after filling-out all the textboxes, the time it took from start to paying $50 was about half an hour.

Now, I have an LLC having no license to operate, nor permits to do anything.
