likely borrow interest free. Loans that are for more than $10,000
rates are still reasonably low. When rates are below the applicable
federal rate established every month by the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS), they will be attributed under a group of IRS rules.
Attractive terms - The trick hear is to structure a
loan that is reasonable. For example, a loan with a 100-year term is
not going to be looked at as a loan by the IRS. They will deem it as
distribution and tax you. Develop a loan with favorable terms,
but do not be a pig about it.
No application process - When you borrow money from
your company, you do not have to go through any sort application
process. In addition, no credit check is required. This means you
will get your cash fast!

of collateral when you borrow from them. The equates to not having
to put your home or any assets at risk.

unsecured, it is important to remember that there are factors that
the IRS will examine when
determining if your loan is a distribution or not.

business?

current market conditions. A signed promissory note
including details regarding the amount loaned, the interest rate ,
and the term will be required by you and the company. As mentioned
above, if the loan amount is under $10,000, the interest rate is
zero, but not sole intent of the loan is to avoid federal taxes.
When deciding if a loan should be labeled as a dividend distribution
for tax internet, the courts and IRS will look into the following
factors:
