There's no benefit tax wise really to have it as an LLC over your social security. Business expenses are business expenses. Depreciation will be the same. I'm not a CPA, but making an LLC won't save you money in taxes over being personally owned and operated. Its more for organization and for liability.

BUT, you need to 100% have a business bank account where you place some money in the beginning as either a loan or as equity into the business. Then operate 100% of the finances out of that one single account. If you forget your business card at home, write yourself a check back for that exact amount you spent.

DON"T INTERMINGLE EXPENSES AND INCOME. NOT ONCE.

Get very strict about this. Pay yourself a dividend where there is profit from your business account to your personal account, then spend it from there.

One potential savings is direct deposits into a retirement account from your business account. Get with a CPA or look into that further yourself.
