In this clear and straightforward video, we'll explain everything you need to know about paying yourself a reasonable salary as an S corporation owner. We'll start by discussing what constitutes a reasonable salary and why it is important to pay yourself in accordance with IRS rules. You'll learn how the IRS evaluates whether your salary is fair, including factors like your experience, duties, industry standards, and the financial health of your business. We’ll cover different methods to determine a fair compensation, such as comparing similar roles in your area or considering what a hypothetical investor would expect.
