Why is paying myself a reasonable salary important as an S-Corporation owner?
As an S-corporation business owner, it’s crucial to understand that the IRS requires you to pay yourself a reasonable salary for the work you perform — before taking any profit distributions. That means compensating yourself fairly, with wages that reflect what someone in your role, industry, location, and experience level would typically earn.
Ignoring this rule — or underpaying yourself — can draw IRS scrutiny and lead to penalties, back taxes, or even loss of your S-Corp status.
Our Salary Sherpa tool simplifies this process by requiring minimal input and generating a personalized report based on your responses. This report clarifies what counts as “reasonable,” and gives you a strong foundation for discussing salary decisions with your tax professional — helping you stay compliant and protected.
