WHile having an Attorney is absolutely necessary, your 0next visit should be to your tax preparer.

Anyone in business should have a CPA do their corp and personal taxes. Not an H&R Block, but a real CPA company, whose name is a mile long list of the partners' surnames.

The CPA will know what's best from a tax standpoint in your State, or give you a couple of options that your Attorney could then help you choose from, based on other legal issues such as: your other assets, other obligations, "marital status," other partnerships you're signed to, etc.

Before you go too far, you might want to consider that there are 10 or so states in the US that do not have state income tax. Why do you think Bill Gates lives in the State of Washington??

If you're too complicated for just a CPA, possibly the CPA, Attorney and you should conference to find the best fit for your situation.

Some states and cities have friendlier attitudes to First Amendment businesses, as well.
