Offer HN: Help on Incorporation

I found that the constant stream of "hell", "freaking", "dumbass", "crap" distracted from the content. I appreciate the sentiment behind them, but I'd hope you can find a way to make your points without such language.<p>(Side note: A lawyer once told me that he would "never use language on a website which he wouldn't use in court" -- I think this is probably a good guideline to follow.)

Frankly, I found the snottiness in the podcast really obnoxious. If you could tone down the unnecessary insults to your listeners/most everyone who is not you, and drop most of the swearing, there was some good advice in here. (I particularly like the general advice that many situations don't require incorporation at all.)<p>I'd also be careful suggesting that people create S-Corps and book most of their personal income from the corp as 'distributions' - sure it's possible to save on payroll tax, but it's a risky proposition unless you book a reasonable (i.e. around what someone else would pay you for the work) amount as wages.

Thanks a ton for this! I'm in the middle of trying to figure out how to incorporate, how much $ I'll need, which route to take, etc... Couldn't have come at a better time.<p>PS, I still plan on contacting you for advice per your offer on my submission about business filing (<a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1946503" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1946503</a>). Just waiting until I'm actually ready to move my feet :)

Phenomenally useful.<p>Contrary to one of the other posters here, I didn't find the tone obnoxious. I found it made for a more interesting podcast because the guy is obviously opinionated, but for a reason - he's knowledgable.<p>Keep it up, I say. You might even want to have a bit of fun branding the podcast - angrytaxaccountant.com could turn into something big!

What is the offer mentioned in the item title. 'Offer HN'.<p>Sorry to be negative but I'm not sure a podcast counts as an offer.<p>Disclaimer: Haven't listened to the whole podcast. Not based in the US so not interested in US specific law knowledge.

Great info. What's you take on branding trademarks, such as my company name? Is this something I can do myself, or is a lawyer required? Is it even worth the time to trademark my company name? Thanks.

Awesome podcast. I actually liked your delivery style although I'm probably in the minority. Reminds me of the "You suck at photoshop" tutorials on youtube.

Any chance for a transcript?
