When I started my LLC ( was SP ) in 2018 I chose to be taxed as S Corp. I didnt do a lot of research ( clue number 1 ), but a former employer ( very successful in business ) always extolled the virtues of chosing S corp over C corp. Made sense to me.
It was never a problem until this year. We have done very well this year ( after yrs of tough times-all oil business related work ) and finally made some money. I see the corporate tax rate is 21%, ( I believe it was 35% so seemed to make sense at the time )and this year my tax rate will be the max ( I believe 37% ) since all the company income passes through to me.
Clearly I am uneducated, but did I just screw myself out of 16%?
Not sure what my options are here
