How Tax Savings Works
- The Reason is to save on Social Security Taxes. 15% per year.
- Pay yourself a reasonable salary. ($12,000) a year and pay social security on this
portion of the income.
- Pay the rest out of your Professional Corporation in Dividends. No Social Security
of Medicare taxes are taken out of any profits you take as dividends.
- Must have a license to be the Professional Corporation such as a Realtor
License.
The IRS will require the corporation to pay you a realistic salary for your
work as an employee of the corporation. That pay should be reported on
W2 and will be subject to the normal employer and employee FICA taxes.
