I want to start a sole proprietorship business not using my Social Security Number – What do I have to do? I want to do business using a w-9

Also – how do taxes work in this situation? Do I pay taxes strictly based on income? Is there a tax benefit to register a business under my social compared to a w-9, or vise versa? What if there is little to no income if working under a w-9, how do taxes work?

A freind and i invested approx. $10,000 (little less) to start a business. Now the company is turning a profit. How do we pay ourselves back? Do we just write ourselves checks? How do we categorize it in the books? Do we have to pay taxes on it?

Thanks we are just trying to figure all this out.

I’m writing a movie and part of it is where a guy want to sell his business to a foreign party so he won’t have to pay taxes – so he can keep it all. is it possible to do this? it doesn’t have to be a foreign party – looking for a plausible loophole. thanks.
He basically wants to sell it to a buddy through a 3rd party loophole of some kind and pay no taxes (any other ideas?. it’s supposed to be illegal – but doable. that’s the point. get creative! thanks.
