If you’re a small business owner with an S Corporation, the way you pay yourself can make or break your tax bill. Most business owners overpay payroll taxes because no one ever showed them the right tax strategy. They treat owner payroll like a checkbox which is a big mistake. Your payroll is a tax planning weapon if you know how to use it.
In this podcast, I’m breaking down exactly how to pay yourself as a business owner, how payroll taxes really work inside an S Corporation, and what you need to do right now to lower your self-employment tax legally. These tax strategies are what your CPA probably isn’t telling you.
We’ll cover payroll tax strategy, how to determine a reasonable salary, and how to avoid red flags with the IRS. If you're married and running a business, there are major tax benefits to putting your spouse on payroll. Get this wrong, and you’re either wasting money or triggering problems with IRS payroll compliance. Get it right, and you unlock additional tax deductions, retirement contributions, and even better healthcare options.
And if you’re listening to this before year-end, I’ll walk you through key tax planning tips you need to make before December 31st. Because once the calendar flips, your options disappear and your tax bill is locked in. This is the payroll tax strategy every small business owner needs to understand. If you're serious about reducing payroll tax, increasing your tax deductions, and staying IRS-compliant, start by listening to this podcast.
