    The IRS requires shareholder-employees to pay them The IRS requires shareholder-employees to pay themselves a reasonable salary for the work they perform before taking additional profits as distributions.

Why does this matter? A reasonable salary keeps you compliant with IRS rules and ensures payroll taxes are handled correctly.

So, what counts as “reasonable”?

- Look at industry standards for your role

- Factor in your specific duties, time, and responsibilities

- Keep documentation showing how you arrived at the number

When you pay yourself properly, you’re not just following the rules you’re protecting your business and reducing the risk of IRS penalties.

Need help figuring out what’s reasonable for your situation? Let’s talk and make sure you’re set up the right way.
