I just did my taxes today. I paid $160,417.26 to the US government in 2006. In addition, I paid $8,586.88 in miscellaneous Colorado state taxes. That's enough to turn someone republican!
I started Spectrum SupportNet, Inc. using a great lawyer and a regular accountant. Within a month, I realized I needed a CPA to keep me out of trouble.
It's a pain in the ass (at best) to change corporation types once you've incorporated. You may also want to incorporate in a state OTHER than California, for tax and/or liability purposes. (For example, will your liability insurance be cheaper if you're incorporated in Delaware, Nevada, or Texas?)
Given the variables, I suggest it's worth considering spending the money to consult either a CPA or a tax lawyer to ensure that you're setting up the best form of corporation for your company's desired outcome. :)
