In regards to gathering documents to get taxes filed, I am curious about the checks that I receive in my name opposed to the company name.  As an part time adjunct althoug I am an Independent Constractor with them, they will not put it in my business name.  Hoe can I change this?
Do I add this to income under the company or not?
 
Just to note.  It is listed on my monthly income sheet

include it in the company, as long as all of your personal and business records reflect that is your intent you will be fine.

I agree.  You should endorse the checks over to your company "without recourse."  That way if the check happens to bounce, the bank can look to your company and not to you personally.

So my adjunct income should just be deposited into my business account although it is not made out to my business name (made out to me)?

I actually disagree.  If the name and tax ID is personal, it isn`t a good idea to endose those checks to the LLC.  You will get a W-2, which is wages, not business income.  The bottom line to you is the same, if you are a single member LLC, but not showing wages when the IRS gets a w-2 can raise a computer generated red flag.

Since with a llc all income is considered flow-through or personal income by the IRS, I can`t see any difference between whether you deposit personally or to the business.  If you DO deposit in the llc account, be sure and record it as owner equity rather than as income from client work.

It will need to be included in your wages when you file end-of-year taxes, and you should also be doing tax deposits to the IRS to offset the `april pain.`  I deposit 20% of my estimated net income to the IRS on April 15, June 15, September 15, and the balance January 15 of the following year (which follows IRS regulations).
