Entrepreneurs Who Pay Themselves Too Much or Too Little Will Find Tax Trouble
Law & Entrepreneurship News: “Related to my two earlier posts regarding the IRS’s case against John Menard for taxes and penalties owed because he payed himself a salary that the IRS considered so high that much of it was actually a dividend (thus making the corporation as well as the individual taxable), the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has a story describing the tax troubles entrepreneurs can find themselves in if they pay themselves too much or too little, and ways to avoid such problems.”

Paying oneself too much?
There has to be a reason…Aha! After Social Security is no longer taken at 15%, a dividend can be taxed to the corporationa as a profit.
This is obviously just a money grab.
I don’t know what type of corporation this individual had, but an S Corp passes all profits as “income” or “salary”.
Normally the concern is when a business shows NO salary and you ask “how does this person live?”
Another case of darned if you do and darned if you don’t.
