About taxes in New Mexico

In May 2023, I formed an LLC in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In December 2023, I received an EIN number. Our company works in the software industry and provides software services to clients in Europe. For the services provided by our company, our clients in Europe will pay to the company account. What kind of taxation will apply in this case? For example, if a total of 50.000 usd is invoiced for 1 year, how much tax do I have to pay? Also, how much tax rate should I reflect on each invoice?

Is tail insurance premium for employed physician tax deductable?

In 2023, I terminated my contract as an employed physician to seek a new opportunity. As such, I was required to pay the premium for tail insurance (extended liability insurance covering the previous employment). Am I able to deduct this as a business related expense or similar?

Tax distribution

Me and my friend are starting a business. She has an stablish LLC and the contract we will getting using her LLC name will be to split 50/50. My idea is to join as subcontractor and we want to split the earnings 50/50. Whoever the question is who will be taxed more her LLC or me? She suggested her keeping a higher percentage of the money because she will have to pay taxes at the end. But my understanding is that LLC is through pass and it will work the same on either side.

additional tax on excess contributions to roth iras

i made an excess contribution to my roth ira in tax year 2021. i amended my 2021 and 2022 returns to add schedule 2 and form 5329 to pay the penalty for excess contributions. i made an untimely corrective distribution yesterday, and i am now preparing my 2023 return. because i had an amount in my 2022 form 5329 line 25, do i have to file a schedule 2 and form 5329 with my 2023 and pay the penalty again? or is it not necessary because i made the correction before 2023 taxes are due?

Retroactive S Corp Status

Hello - in Sep 22 I set up an LLC for my new consulting business. I wasn't sure how things would go, so did not file for SCorp status at the time. I am wondering if I can file retroactively to apply to the 2023 tax year and if there are other considerations I should make (specific to retroactive filing). Thank you Brian
