i don't know how i would qualify for research and development write offs.
i know meals are deductible but only for business related meals, right? would me being on lunch qualify or only for me and a client?
what kind of activities would qualify as entertainment?
i don't understand how i would amortize expenses. amortize means to pay off gradually in payments, right? but how does that work when you only pay taxes once a year?
how does paying myself equate to paying less social security tax?
These are mostly basic questions that you should more more about online...
There is a a lot of really available information.
With the last point, if you make $100,000 profit and pay yourself a $4000 monthly salary, 4*12=48
the remaining 52k could be paid as a dividend, which you wouldn't pay social security on.
Pleas consult your tax professional though.
