No prob, Sully!
You want to become an S-corp because of all the tax breaks you can get from
it. Basically to become an S-corp, you need to first become incorporated
then file for S-corp status. Best thing to do come tax time is to speak
with a good accountant to get you all the tax breaks you can get.
Good luck! Feel free to ask me anything you want offline.

Thanks for the support Sevak!!
I have a book in front of me right now (actually just off to
the left) that is on becoming incorporated. I own a house in Colorado
Springs…so I am hoping to become incorporated there. I hear that Colorado
is very friendly to Corps.
If anyone has tips on how to become incorporated (from sole
proprietorship) with single owner….I would love the help.
Thanks!!
Sully

Argghh! That sux!
First, you've done everything correctly! (Except you still need to get
incorporated so that you are never personally liable, Sully!!)
Keep doing what you're doing. You can only counter-sue him for the
charges he owes you. You normally can't sue for more (which is called
"punitive damages" meaning to punish the other guy for being
blatantly a bad person!).
Let him spend more money on this, then go to court and fill out the counter-suit.
It is cheaper for you to counter-sue than it is to initiate a law suite, so
you're actually better off this way!
Good luck!

I got one client right now trying to sue me for shutting his
service off.
I gave him 4 warnings throughout the month that his
bandwidth consumption was on track to go WAY over his limits (per agreed upon
TERMS OF SERVICE).
He finally responded to my warnings by saying, “ok ok ok, I
will pay the over-usage fees if I go over. It is due to
blah…blah..”. When it came time to pay, he made excuses as to why he
didn’t want to pay. I gave him the customary 10 day grace period…with
several warnings and then shut his service off.
He came back with an email saying, “How dare you! This
is no way to do business. When someone does not pay, you are not supposed
to turn their service off; you are supposed to sue them.”
HAHAHHAHAhhahah. What a joke!
If you don’t pay your electricity bill, they turn it off.
You don’t pay your cell phone bill, they turn it off.
All of my clients pay me through PayPal. This is
initiated/controlled by them. After I turned off his service, he sent me
one more payment of $10.00, for his static IP. He owed me $30.00 for his
overusage fees. I, obviously, applied the $10 towards that fee. He
sent me an email saying I am a thief and took money from him for services that
I am not providing. I explained to him at great detail, in my
cancellation email, how to STOP payment on his PayPal subscription. He
just chose to ignore it. DUH!!
Anyway…I have now turned down (rejected) 2 personal
certified letters from him (no doubt requesting my appearance in small claims
court), followed by another addressed from the Small Claims court itself (which
I also rejected).
If he wants to see me in court, I am not going to make it
easy for him. He will have to pay some processors to serve me (increasing
his cost as well).
You see…I am not in the wrong here. I explained this
to him on many occasions. If this goes to court, he will lose miserably.
My only question is: How do
I counter-sue and for what amount?
This whole thing is irritating…but such is the price of
business.

You gotta love customers... I remember one guy who

LOL!
I was only talking about the REALLY dumb people like the woman who called me up
'cause she couldn't get on the Internet. I asked her to type something in
and she had no clue what the "keyboard" was!!

You'll lose signal for a short time and those a-holes who have no clue what a
solar storm is will be calling you and complaining that your service
sucks! An hour later, they'll be sheepishly surfing the Internet again
skipping news articles about a "solar system hitting us" -as one
stupid radio morning show person called it.
Ahh, can we knock off all the ignorant people from this planet?
Seriously, don't expect any permanent damage from the solar storm.
(Unless your tower is tall enough to penetrate the atmosphere. Which if
it is, you can afford to take the hit!)
