LLC or S-Corp for individual consultant?
Realizing that I'm unlikely to get professional legal advice, I was just wondering what choices other consultants have made.
For my current role, I need to incorporate. I am providing Web Development and Drupal consulting under contract.
So far I am planning to create an S-Corp since I would be the sole shareholder/employee.
Also, I plan to incorporate in NJ where I live - I am working for a company in NYC with its corporate HQ in GA.
Any thoughts?
