Everyone on social media seems to have the same tax strategy: form an LLC, elect S corporation status, pay yourself a salary, and magically save 15.3% in taxes. The problem? That advice skips nearly everything that actually determines whether an S corp makes financial sense.
In this episode of Nailed It, Jeremy and Ian break down the real math behind the S corporation strategy. They explain reasonable compensation, why the IRS cares about the relationship between salary and distributions, when a one-person business can have trouble defending a low salary, and how additional tax-return and payroll costs can completely wipe out the supposed savings.
They also dig into situations where an S corp can work—particularly businesses that leverage employees, systems, or technology rather than relying entirely on the owner's labor. Plus, they explain why business owners who already exceed the Social Security wage base through a W-2 job may receive far less benefit from an S election than social-media tax gurus suggest.
The takeaway: an S corp isn't inherently a tax strategy. It's an entity and tax election that needs to fit the economics of the business first.
