A sole proprietorship or a partnership does not have this benefit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Other benefits of incorporating include providing limited liability protection to your personal assets, entitling you to more liberal insurance and pension plans, and reducing the potential of an IRS audit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We can set up your corporation without any interruption of your business activity. Our fee to set up your California Corporation, including minute book and seal, starts at $395.00.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5472931481128088595-6077711999021635910?l=pullescpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5472931481128088595/posts/default/6077711999021635910?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5472931481128088595/posts/default/6077711999021635910?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JohnJPullesCpa/~3/d6DJ9RkBw4M/benefits-of-incorporating.html" title="The Benefits of Forming an S Corporation" /><author><name>JP</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00524666058358099090</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="16" height="16" src="http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" /></author><feedburner:origLink>http://pullescpa.blogspot.com/2010/05/benefits-of-incorporating.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DkEFRXw6fyp7ImA9WxRaFko.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472931481128088595.post-7719804631085374205</id><published>2008-12-18T22:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-19T00:16:54.217-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-12-19T00:16:54.217-08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cpa" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="finance" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="taxes" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="pulles" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="irs" /><title>Links</title><content type="html">&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Financial&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/default.stm"&gt;BBC Business&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.economist.com/finance/"&gt;Economist Finance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://money.cnn.com/"&gt;money.cnn.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/public/us"&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Government&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ssa.gov/"&gt;Social Security Online&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sba.gov/"&gt;U.S. Small Business Administration&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Taxes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.boe.ca.gov/"&gt;California State Board of Equalization&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ftb.ca.gov/online/refund/index.asp"&gt;Check California Income Tax Refund Status&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://sa2.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofgetstatus.jsp"&gt;Check IRS Refund Status&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.irs.gov/"&gt;Internal Revenue Service&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5472931481128088595-7719804631085374205?l=pullescpa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5472931481128088595/posts/default/7719804631085374205?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5472931481128088595/posts/default/7719804631085374205?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JohnJPullesCpa/~3/BJsfMX4wwwo/links.html" title="Links" /><author><name>wierd fishee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01762003424374157129</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="31" height="21" src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e196/patrycja1/2005-03-28%20Ether%20Festival/IMG_6895.jpg" /></author><feedburner:origLink>http://pullescpa.blogspot.com/2008/12/links.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DkECQ3wyeSp7ImA9WxRaFko.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472931481128088595.post-6102704012436055630</id><published>2008-12-18T12:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-19T00:17:42.291-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-12-19T00:17:42.291-08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="tax" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cpa" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="taxes" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="pulles" /><title>New Clients and Referrals</title><content type="html">We recently sent out the annual tax organizers and a tax planning and strategy letter to all our clients.
