I'm seeking advice on navigating tax obligations for my online business, structured as a C corporation registered through Clerky, with the corporation's address listed in California but registered in Delaware. Given that I am a California resident and the sole employee running all operations online, I aim to avoid double taxation while ensuring compliance with tax regulations. Here are my specific questions: Delaware C Corporation with a California Address: My startup is registered as a C corporation in Delaware, but we've listed a California address in our incorporation documents. Does this setup obligate us to register the business in California, and what are the tax implications of having the corporate address in California while aiming to pay taxes only in Delaware? Impact of California Residency: As the founder, CEO, and a California resident, how does my residency and role in the company affect our tax obligations in California and Delaware? I intend to manage all operations online and consider establishing a virtual office in Delaware. Avoiding Double Taxation: What strategies can we employ to avoid double taxation for our Delaware-registered C corporation, especially considering our operations and address are tied to California, and I am looking to minimize tax liabilities without distributing profits? Tax Obligations and Reporting Requirements: Could you provide an overview of the taxes and reporting requirements for a company like ours, with registration in Delaware, projected income first year <$10000, planning to establish an office in California, and with the director (myself) being a California resident and not planning to distribute profits? I'm particularly interested in understanding the implications of our current structure and any potential steps we can take to optimize our tax situation, considering the dual-state registration and operation. Any insights or experiences shared would be greatly appreciated.
