S-Corp Owners: Why Compensation Clarity™ is Your Best “Audit Insurance”
Running an S-Corp comes with countless perks, from tax benefits to greater control over your business structure. But with these benefits come responsibilities—specifically, the IRS’s requirement that you pay yourself a reasonable salary. It’s a seemingly simple rule, but one that trips up far too many business owners.
What happens when you don’t get it right? An audit. And not just any audit—one that could lead to back taxes, hefty fines, and months of stress. So how do you protect yourself from this dreaded scenario?
Enter the Compensation Clarity™ Report, the smart, IRS-compliant solution for s-corp business owners who want peace of mind. Think of it as your “audit insurance.” Here’s why.
Why Reasonable Compensation Matters
The IRS requires S-Corp owners to pay themselves a salary that reflects the work they do for their business. Too often, business owners either underpay themselves to save on payroll taxes or overpay, hurting their bottom line. Both can raise red flags with the IRS, potentially leading to a costly audit.
What’s at Stake if You’re Not Careful
Let’s be real: no one wants to deal with an audit. If the IRS finds that you haven’t paid yourself a reasonable salary, they can reclassify your distributions as wages. This means back pay, reclassification penalties, and fines—sometimes to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. Worse, you’ll face scrutiny on future tax filings, putting your business under a microscope for years.
But how do you know what’s “reasonable” in the eyes of the IRS? That’s where Compensation Clarity™ comes in.
