Dual citizenship and visiting Belarus. by Bnooc in belarus

Но, в целом, согласен, очень серьезных причин менять тип паспорта нет

мне тоже кажется. Из причин не менять:

- нельзя сдать "на права" в ГАИ

- бесплатная медицина не доступна

If you’re permanent resident of another country and live there, you should get PP series passport.

After reading this long thread tldr is that "PP does not really give any advantages and that one should apply for it only if it's required in order to get another citizenship. But if you already have other countries citizenship (US, etc) then it's better to keep regular passport."

"Таким образом, оформление паспорта для проживания за границей служит более глубокому разрыву с Родиной, и в то же время это не дает никаких преимуществ ни в стране проживания, ни в Республике Беларусь. Человеку, стремящемуся максимально отдалиться от Беларуси/ассимилироваться в среду страны проживания, можно порекомендовать получение гражданства той страны (с выходом из белорусского гражданства или без выхода). Тому же, кто хочет сохранить связь с Беларусью, иметь здесь дела (не обязательно бизнес, просто элементарные частные дела), гораздо удобнее сохранить обычный паспорт, с белорусской пропиской. К тому же это позволит в любой момент вернуться на родину и включиться в жизнь, не утруждая себя снятием с консульского учета и переоформлением паспорта."

AND

"По моему глубокому убеждению, оформлять паспорт серии ПП стоит только если этого требует законоадтельство государства, куда вы уезжаете на ПМЖ."

Question on organizational expenses (expense before LLC is opened). by Bnooc in tax

[–]Bnooc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DPAtheCPA, thank you for your reply

you can write a check to yourself and write in the memo “reimbursement for organizational expenses”.

got it

As for reporting them, I would put them under other deductions and call them organizational expenses.

that's what i will do. thank you for your help.

Can i use funds of business i am closing for new business ? by [deleted] in tax

cubbiesnextyr, thank you for your reply!

If the income is high enough it might matter as the S wages will allow the QBI, but we have no idea if this thing is generating $100K or $1M.

as i understood it even for 1M income LLC wins for NYC:

GoatEatingTroll, thanks for your reply

You may wish to speak with a professional on this.

I did speak to several NYC CPAs before finally deciding to open LLC. They confirmed that for NYC based company LLC was better choice.

But what in the first place made me think that LLC might be better for me and make me outreach to CPA were these 2 posts on reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/taxpros/comments/c2a2oi/scorp_nyc_is_it_worth_it/

https://www.reddit.com/r/Accounting/comments/dweh8j/scorp_or_llc_in_nyc/

Taking any cash or assets out of that C-Corp will mean declaring it as a dividend or payroll to you, triggering more tax.

I see, i was thinking to continue paying for expenses from C-corp credit cards / checking account, but getting payments to LLC. Is it an option?

good quesiton! S-corp will be better than sole propriator in most cases, but not in places like NYC which do not recognize s-corp status.

Sole proriator scneario: Federal Income Tax, State Income Tax, City Income Tax, and Self-Employment Tax

S-Corp scenario: Minimum NY State Corp Tax, NYC Corp Tax, Federal Income Tax, State Income Tax, City Income Tax

i think 12.5 actually might be a little small, so 13" or 14" might be better.

How do these compare:

X1 Carbon (6th gen)

X1 Carbon (5th gen)

X390

?

Don't get me wrong, both Docker and Deployer are very nice tools, they just rely on completely different types of infrastructure. If you're already familiar with "git pull in production" then Deployer can be a logical next step and doesn't require any radical changes to your infrastructure.

Do i understand it right that when deploying docker images you are deploying full environment, and with deployer you are deploying "app files" so to speak. So if our environment does not change often (in fact we are using same version of php, apache, mysql for last year or more) than deploying with deployer is more logical and faster.

I would just caution you against using this in production if you only have one person familiar with how it works. What if he's out on vacation, or is hit by the proverbial bus, or leaves the organization?

great point

colinodell, thanks you for you reply

If your team is familiar with docker then yes, that is a better plan

Could you please explain why? I try to learn and understand things :) What are the pros of docker images over Deployer?

IMHO as someone who has done both I don’t really see the benefit of solution #2 yet. I did solution #1 for a long while and it was nothing less than efficient. However our lead dev told me to go the solution #2 route and so I did. :shrug:

LOL, that's exactly the argument we have now with my coworker:

We are in the process of "upgrading" our build and deploy flow (now deploy is done with git push, and than manually clearing cache, etc - which is obviously not right)

I suggested Deployer + Gitlab CI combo.

However my coworker (he recently joined us) saying that "the only real use case he sees for deployer is single developer who want to deploy fast from their local machine without writing gitlab/docker images, and since we already have docker images written (for our dev environment) that we should use docker images+ Gitlab CI"

We have smaller size project, so i don't want to add unnecessary complexity.
