You establish a employee-employer piece work job or per hour, 3. 1099 does not work, Yup!

I was thinking of getting one for my property's LLC and then adding myself as an employee with a separate card, cancel my card I have for personal use, and expense the annual fee for the business card.If I have a business card as an employee, what are your thoughts on using that "employee" card for my personal expenses so I can track them and pay them separately.  

Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: @Erick AcostaS-Corp can potentially save you on payroll taxes.There are costs associated with the set up of an S-Corp(election costs, payroll tax return costs, income tax return costs, etc).It only makes sense when the savings of the payroll taxes will be more than the administrative costs.You should definitely consult with your tax advisor on if it is right for you.I have one employee and my (new) advisor immediately said S-Corp.

I run a fairly large plumbing company with 20 employees and even my company gets only a few calls every year for sewage ejector pumps and since the pumps and pits are so nasty we turn the calls away.It is impossible for a plumber's snake to ruin a sewage ejector pump and they are made to handle Tampons and baby wipes.
