How Can Owners or Investors of Entities Withdraw Money from Their Business?

As a business owner or investor, one of the most critical considerations when selecting a business structure is understanding how you can withdraw money from your company. Here’s a breakdown of the key aspects of entities:

1. ???????? ???????????????????????????? All business earnings (net income) are reported on your personal tax return (Form 1040). Self-employment taxes must be paid on these earnings.
2. ??-?????????? Corporations are taxed at the entity level, and shareholders pay taxes again when income is distributed as dividends.
3. ???????????????????????? & ??-??????????:???????????????????? ??????????????: Money can be withdrawn as salary or dividend distributions. Employment Taxes on Salary: Both the business and the individual pay employment taxes. Businesses can deduct these payments, and individuals can deduct half of their share.

Dividend Distributions: This is money withdrawn after net income is determined. It is tax-free only up to the extent of the owner’s basis in the capital. Any excess is subject to capital gains tax. Taxes at the Individual Level: Since these are pass-through entities, taxes are paid on the individual level, regardless of whether money is withdrawn as salary or distributions (reported in K-1s).

???????????????? ???? ?????? ?????? ????????-?????????????? ????????????????, A well-thought-out strategy is essential to strike the right balance between salary and distributions to minimize your tax burden. For example, out of $100,000, if one elects to receive a $20,000 dividend and $80,000 in salary, the total self-employment tax liability of the company is $ 12,240. (Although your corporation receives a deduction for the employment taxes it pays.) Using the dividend/salary strategy saves you over $3,060 in self-employment tax liability in 2024 alone.

???? ???????????????? ??????????????, ?????? ????:

• Maximize distributions (up to the basis limit)
• Minimize salary (on reasonable grounds to justify the split)

Proper planning can help you save significantly on employment taxes while staying compliant.
