How to Pay Yourself From an S Corp: Salary vs. Distributions

►► Want to pay little to no taxes, legally? Answer a few questions here and get your zero tax readiness profile: https://sherry-xnpihy6e.scoreapp.com/ If you're an S corp owner, you actually have two ways to pay yourself, and understanding how each one works could save you (or cost you) thousands in taxes every year. As an S corp owner, you wear two hats: employee and owner. Your salary runs through payroll and is subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes. Your distributions flow to you as the owner and bypass that payroll tax layer entirely. In this video I walk you through exactly how S corp salary and distributions work together, what the IRS requires when it comes to reasonable compensation, how your stock basis affects the distributions you can take, and why clean documentation protects both your tax position and your liability shield. This video is for single member LLC owners who have elected S corp tax treatment and want to understand how to pay themselves correctly. If you've been searching for how S corp salary and distributions work, how reasonable salary requirements apply to your situation, or how S corp basis impacts what you can take out of the business, this video breaks it all down.
