I’ve heard some people say LegalZoom and others say go through an attorney. Thoughts on the best way to go about this? #startup
Yourself through the local government website
Lol. If you dont know how to file an scorp you should not be an scorp
Ok thanks for some worthless advice. From Meta lemming no less. “Lol”
Your accountant is the best way. It’ll be cheap and they will advise you on if you are setting it up right.
Be warned, filing s corp taxes sucks
You want to consider the state you want it to file it in for taxes. If you do not live in that state or want your address associated, you will need a registered agent in the state. I used Northwest to do this and they filed and provided the first year registered agent service for $159.
One alternative is ZenBusiness, which has a great reputation as a more user-friendly, modern, and slightly affordable version of LegalZoom. That said, it does not offer the attorney consultation service you can purchase on LegalZoom.
Stripe atlas. Will knock it out for $500 & do all the leg work
LegalZoom is cheaper and also easy but I did LLC not S-corp
