Hey everybody,

I think I'm in over my head on this one. It's a simple Schedule C, but my client's business is growing fast. She owns a very successful hair salon. When I figured her taxes this year, she owes $27,000! There's no way! Last year, she earned only $100,00 less and only owed $3,600!!!! I am thinking of taking it to another tax accountant, have them look it over, and let me know what they think? and I am willing to pay for that. Is this wrong? Would any of you be interested in checking my figures?

Also, I am wondering if it is time that she turn her business into a S- corp or C corp (she may be making too much money to be an S-corp). The Self-employment tax is killing her!

Thanks!

Did you check for typos? Earned $100 less last year, and she owes $23,400 more this year? Hmmm...

I saw a comma in there and read it as $100,000

The word "only" led me to believe the comma should have been a decimal, especially with only two zeroes after.

Yes, I checked this over and over again.

Look! last year: gross income $460,967 expenses" $441423 net profit $19,544

this year: gross income: $563,202 expenses: 473,804 net profit: $89,398

It looks like her income is going up and her expenses are not going up in proportion with her income....is there a better taxable entity she should be in. Her business is going to keep growing!
