My fried and I are planning to start a new business; we will form an
LLC. Our concern is: He has another job and makes around $100.000 per
year. Is the LLC income sump with his actual salary and make him to pay
more taxes? Or both things are two separate entities?

His gross income will be his salary and any distributions or other
imputed income from the LLC summed. Anybody who makes into the six
figures needs to have regular consultations with a tax specialist
attorney or accountant. Here such a consultation is, IMO, mandatory to
plan how he can reduce his tax liability. You need to plan this NOW
before you organize your new business.

This is a tax question rather than a legal question, but....
If the LLC is to be taxed as a partnership, then the company
"profits" are added in to his income. If it is to be taxed
as a corporation, then he still must take reasonable salary,
and the rest of the "profits" are taxed to the corporation.
If the corporation would be a PSC (Personal Services Corporation),
then the corporation would be taxed at a higher rate than
he would as an individual.

I think I've got the problem resolved, but, if you E-mail me
and it bounces, a second try might work.
However, please reply in newsgroup.

He would claim his LLC income and expenses on schedule C of his 1040. The
net income will be added to his salary to figure out his taxes.

The net income will be added to his salary to figure out his taxes.
If your company pays you wages, the wages are subject to payroll taxes.
The temptation is to reduce the salary to the bare minimum, or even to
zero. There are a few problems with this. One is that you might get
audited. Another is that you're not paying anything into social
security, unemployment compensation, etc. Yet another is that you
might run into trouble with workmen's comp and (if your company offers
it) health insurance. But the big problem with not paying yourself a
reasonable salary is that this interferes with your exit strategy a few
years down the road when you sell the company: any sane buyer is going
to want to know if the company is profitable even WITH the added burden
of paying the CEO a market-level salary.

If their is no real corporation (usually the case with an LLC), then
revenues and expenses go straight to Schedule C on the 1040 individual
return. A partnership LLC works in a similar way (net income goes straight
to 1040 individual returns of the partners. I assume that is what he is
talking about. Otherwise, there is no reason to form an LLC, and a regular
(or subchapter S) corporation would be formed.
