Customer Question

We formed an S Corporation and registered 2 businesses under the corporation. We now have 3 checking accounts. I would like to run all the businesses under the corporation and get down to 1 checking account. Is there any advantage to keeping the other accounts?

Shawn P Adamo :

Hello. My specialty is focusing on YOUR Financial needs. Financial Planner/Business Owner for 20 years. CPA,PFS,QFP,GMMA.

Shawn P Adamo :

I assume you keep one set of books?

Shawn P Adamo :

If you have the two comanies, each operating under different names and tax ids you should keep two accounts.

Shawn P Adamo :

If one is A and one is B what will happen if the bank account does NOT say B but you pay B?

Shawn P Adamo :

The IRS will also most likey ask for two bank accounts.

Shawn P Adamo :

good morning

Shawn P Adamo :

I realize it's simpler for YOU to have one bank account but is it that hard to have 2?

Shawn P Adamo :

I see you are typing so I'll stay here.

Shawn P Adamo :

OK. if you have no questions I'll leave you to accept.

Customer :

We file taxes under the corporation name. We operate 2 retail businesses. I am keeping 3 sets of books and I think it is unnecessary.

Shawn P Adamo :

three tax id's?

Shawn P Adamo :

or just 3 business names?

Customer :

Just one

Customer :

3 business names

Shawn P Adamo :

what will the checks say?

Shawn P Adamo :

same name?

Shawn P Adamo :

why have 2 seperate names?

Shawn P Adamo :

for the 2 business

Customer :

I was going to show the corporation name and then the other 2 business names. Customers know us under the dba name and not the corp.

Shawn P Adamo :

then make your life simple. Keep one set of books, one bank account.

Customer :

The businesses are completely different. One is a video store and the other is a credit card processing company

Shawn P Adamo :

any reason to even keep the second business name?

Shawn P Adamo :

ok.

Shawn P Adamo :

That works for me.

Shawn P Adamo :

I agree.

Shawn P Adamo :

at the end of the day same pockets.

Shawn P Adamo :

Go for it.

Shawn P Adamo :

That's my CPA recommendation.
