Question 2: Form of Business
Kate Brown has operated her small repair shop as a sole proprietorship for several years, but projected changes in her businesss income have led her to consider incorporating. Kate is married and has two children. Her familys only income, her annual salary of $60,000, comes from operating the business. (The business actually earns more than $60,000, but Kate reinvests the additional earnings in the business.) She itemizes deductions, and she is able to deduct $19,500.
