Law in the Marketplace: A tool to know to avoid self-employment tax
As I explained in last week's column, the federal Social Security Tax known as the Self-Employment Tax (the SET) is harsh. For example, if you are lucky enough to earn $137,700 from your work in 2020, you may owe SET of $21,068. This will be, of course, over and above your federal income tax.
As I also explained last week, Internal Revenue Code Subchapter S can be a powerful weapon in lawfully reducing your SET, since the net income of an S corporation is not subject to FICA (the Social Security Tax that applies to corporations).

MAR+VIN is pushing to have Brazil's diversity reflected in the marketplace - The Washington Post
To talk about our work and about ourselves, we need to talk about where we came from, because that is a fundamental part of who we are and who we are becoming. Talking about origins is important, especially in this world with globalized ideas and ideals, where being different is showing the most intimate part of you in the simplest and most poetic way possible.
The Brazilian northeast is one of the richest regions that anyone should have the pleasure of visiting, and by that we mean the people themselves: all the affection and human warmth, but mainly the culture. The culture is a reflection of our greatest ambitions, desires and even our frustrations. But, like everything around us, the culture is constantly changing. And our work is shaped by these changes. We trust these natural processes, and we face these transformations with great respect.
