Should you create an LLC for your podcast?

Podcasting Q&A

Jared from the Remarkable People podcast asks, "When should create an LLC for your podcast?"

TL;DR
Just as a disclaimer, we are not legal or tax experts but we have formed a few LLCs in our time (so take our advice with a grain of salt). Filing an LLC for your podcast can allow you to "write off" podcast-related expenses, leading to a larger return come tax season. So why isn't it something we recommend for all podcasters?
In today's episode, we'll walk through the pros and cons of creating a business for your podcast and help you decide if it's a good fit for your show.
