Re: [taxchat] C Corp w/ large NI

Why would they want to put those type of assets into a C Corp?  Why not take a large bonus, then invest the money individually?

Subject: [taxchat] C Corp w/ large NI

Hello –

I just met w/ a guy whose C Corp will have @ $300,000 NI at the end of 2008.  There is only one person that owns 100% of the stock.   I am not sure but I believe they would be considered a personal Service Corp.  The go into businesses and set up "Lighting  Programs."  Basically all they do is have their computer log onto a company's security system and program lights when they come on and go off.

There are a couple of things they want to do.  One of them is that they want to buy a residential house as an investment.  The property would be rented to an unrelated party.

Can they do this?  I thought they could but he was told by another preparer that he can't because that isn't the corp's primary source of income.  I thought they could it would be a separate division in the corp.

Also, he wants to invest in various stocks for the corp.  Again he was told he couldn't but I thought he could. 

If anyone has any input on the above issues or any suggestion on how to reduced their tax liability I would appreciate the input.  The majority of my clients don't have this problem!

Thanks for the help.

Cris
