Key Points for Certain Industries:
Real
Estate: Will
the real estate you buy be considered investor property or dealer
property? In general, if your intent at the time of purchase is
to buy the piece of property to rent out, it is usually considered
investor property. If your intent at the time of purchase is to
fix up the property to resell it without renting it out, it is usually
considered a dealer property. Here are some of the tax differences:

Traders:
Do
you trade stocks in the stock market? Are you considered a trader
or investor? This is a key fact you need to know. If you are deemed
a trader you will be entitled to business deductions, an investor
is not. Also, if you are a trader or investor, a C corporation will
be the wrong entity for you. The corporation will either be deemed
a Personal Service Corporation or a Personal Holding Corporation.
An LLC would be a much better choice.
Internet
Business: The Internet is not a free way to avoid paying sales
tax if you sell a product. It recommended to speak to a CPA firm
that understands multistate taxation and Internet taxation.
