S-Corp Election and Reasonable Wage Planning
Many business owners can reduce their self-employment tax burden by electing to have their LLC taxed as an S-Corp. This strategy involves paying yourself a “reasonable wage” as a W-2 employee, while the remaining profits are taken as distributions, which are not subject to self-employment taxes.
