s-corp partnership startup. how to pay owners with minimal profit?
user
s-corp income is passed through to owners and is taxed on their 1040 as ordinary income. if you take a wage (pay fica) and then take additional distributions these are not subject to fica.  a lot of business owners will buy up supplies/ necessary expenses right before the end of the tax year to lower their tax liability.
