Q: Starting company in Santa Clara CA. Owners are 2, me + Russian lady living in russia. Should we do C or S corp or LLC?
is it better to have both names in company or just 1 of us? Our company would be producing shoes using a third party outside USA and selling them outside USA. Do we (or I) need sellers certificate? If only I start the company should we do LLC, C or S corp? would all the business income be taxed since all costs are spent outside USA and profit made and spent outside USA? or would my salary only be taxed that enters the USA?
A: An S-corporation is not available for non-US citizens. The other details need to be discussed with an attorney. The information above is sketchy.
