Are you paying too much?
The most common tax error we see is S corporation owners paying themselves too much or even worse – not enough.
Business owners pay a painful amount of tax on their earnings. One of the only tax “loopholes” left is the ability to thoughtfully establish your employment tax base. Don’t leave money on the table for the IRS to keep.
Is your owner compensation reasonable? The term “reasonable compensation” is an IRS hot button. They are auditing S corporations left and right to ensure proper employment taxes are being paid. There are extra security and reporting requirements that are applied only to S corporations. I personally believe this is one of the top reasons S corporations are audited.

- Reporting your compensation properly on your tax forms to minimize audit exposure
