I am a college student in a big college town. Over the last couple of years I couldn't find work so I decided to start a moving company. I've been doing okay. I bought the equipment and a box truck. The problem is that I have been working under the table. It's grueling work but I discovered that if I keep working at the same pace I can make enough to have a significant down payment on a home. I would like to have a down payment for property by the time I graduate, ideally as an investment but maybe a home for myself so I can collect equity instead of paying a landlord. I would like to go legit so I can buy a home. My first questions are as follows:

1. Should I stay under the table because going legit would highly eat my profits (getting taxed double as an llc, government regulations such as liability insurance, commercial plates, paying commercial insurance)?

2. I tried going through my state's website to see what I would need. The process seems long and complicated. Is there a company I can pay to take care of this for me, if so how much would it cost?

3. Has anyone ever gone through this process or similar?

4. LLC or S-corp?

5. If I am legit do I have report all earnings (I know technically I do but it's a cash business can I sock away 20%)?

I am really desperate to figure this out so any help would be much appreciated.
