Excellent video! Thank you for your thorough explanation on this topic. I have been doing my husbands s corp taxes for several years and just when I thought I had mastered the craft, a unique situation presented itself… he opened a new business with partner, elected S corp, and took a loss their first year in business of 60k. (Real estate) this past year was their 2nd year in business and they showed a rather large profit. They hired a book keeper that didn’t really guide them in any direction and they had no idea their profits were so large and hadn’t established payroll for themselves yet. Each shareholder is showing 225k on their K1 as ordinary income. Ouch!!! They didn’t take any distributions and kept that money in the business (rather used it to purchase more land to sell etc) our AGI reflecting on 1040 is now through the roof! Would this “work around” be a good idea for us? Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for this info!! Dealing with the same thing. I did a w2 instead of a 1099 - is this fine for this situation?

Hi...I really enjoyed this video. I learned a lot and things started to "click" (I've been watching a lot of videos!) I have a question... I am helping someone with their taxes...They haven't filed taxes in several years...Their previous tax preparer made them a corporation and then an S-corp. The only problem is that they did not make sure this truck driver understood the rules and requirements for being an S-corp, much less stress the importance of making sure that he follow "the rules" for filing as an S-corp (ie. payroll, w-2s, reasonable compensation, complete separation of personal and business expenses...). I was thinking that I would use this workaround with the 1099-NEC for the current and previous taxes that need to be filed...and send them in all at the same time (as a big group/ batch, ...you know?). I was also thinking that I could write a note to the IRS explaining that He was setting up the proper system for payroll and would begin implementation...A.S.A.P ... But how do you suggest I handle the unemployment taxes and other things that you mentioned had not been paid through the workaround? I want to make it right with the IRS and the State agency by covering all the taxes owed in someway or another. I hope I was able to explain that in a way that makes sense... Thank you for your time. I really enjoy your content.

Thank you for the video, it clarified a lot for me. I was never advised by my accountant about payroll. Now I have another question regarding the Solo 401k. Since I did not do W2 for 2023 how can I claim the employer portion that I already paid into Fidelity for 2023 at the end of the year. If I cannot claim what are the consequences for overpaying? Thank you so much.

bro... If I would have done any of this research that I am doing now before I started my company I would have NEVER !!! started my company. The tax system in the US is a convoluted joke. You are taxed up, down, left, right and at every angle x3 I never ever want to hear about cities, states, or the fed crying about they have no money. Starting my company was the worst thing I have ever done. I would recommend that schools make your videos mandatory to watch before they are allowed to graduate.

This is Fantastic, thanks Navi! Question: if I leave all the money in the company, then next year I pay a salary and distributions, then next year I'll have salary income on my personal return and a salary expense on the S corp return. If the s corp has no revenue next year but will have the salary expense, will I be able to take a loss from the s corp onto my personal return to offset the salary income on my personal return? Otherwise I'd be paying tax on that income twice: once in the year the s corp earned it and once in the year the salary was paid.

This is great information for sure! I elected my father’s LLC to S-Corp status two weeks ago and have been setting up payroll so these videos have been beyond helpful. By any chance, what advice would you give to someone who’s beginning their journey on taking the CPA?(if any).

I asked because I wanted to point out that if your ultimate goal is to make a certain dollar amount per year, etc., that a CPA license is not necessary. There are plenty examples of EAs or even taxpreparers without any special designation that are very "successful". Having said that, accounting is my 2nd career. I originally earned a bachelors degree in Business Management, spent 10 years in the banking industry, then went back to school to obtain my Masters in Accountancy. I'm leaving out a bunch of steps and life events but, trust me, you'll have no problem with the exam. I'm not a wizard and I passed all 4 parts on my first attempt. My advice would be to set a goal for taking each section and stick to it. Start with FAR.

I am filing a late s-corp election for THIS year 2023 but have not put myself on the payroll yet, planning on starting with next week's payroll run. I have taken some distributions in past couple of months. Do I need to issue a 1099 for the partial year distributions, before payroll?

As follows CPA, this is a great fix, but it wouldn't report the income to the shareholder as wages. This will probably trigger an Audit since the corporation didn't file any payroll reports. The officer compensation flows on the K1. Probably, add it under professional services or other deductions. Thanks!

If my business made $6k in profit and I didn't take any distributions then I don't need to worry about filing a 1099-NEC?

We were running in the red most of the year. So never got around to paying the office/owner. We use ADP and in January I was able to issue a retroactive W2. But the amount was too low for reasonable compensation. Does it make sense to issue a corrected W2? Or is the 1099 nec still your preference? This is a new S-corp and the officer is now on payroll for 2024.

you don't take QBI deduction on your individual return because you already took that on 1120s? is that correct. Great video by the way

Hi Navi! I'm new to your channel. My husband and I started an LLC and filed for S Corp election. We were approved for the S Corp election by the IRS. We just started our business and are not profiting much each month. Are we still required to pay ourselves payroll although we just started making a profit? Or will we be required to withdraw money when we file our taxes?

Hello- I was almost with you throughout, however I don't understand where the 60,000 of distribution income goes to on the 1040 for the solo s corp owner. Is it combined to add with the 40,000 or is there a separate line to add the 60,000 onto the schedule c

@NaviMarajCPA

Жыл бұрын

The 1120S will spit out a form called a K-1 that will show the $60,000. The information on the K-1 will then be used to enter on the 1040.

Quick question, why would a late 1099 be preferred in this situation over a simple Backpay to cover reasonable compensation from years past?

What about when a company is fairly new and can’t afford to pay an officer ? Is it okay under these circumstances to not take a salary?

Navi, Thank you very much for the great video! Can I ask a quick Q? I made the S Corp Election on my LLC last year, and my business operated with a loss for 2022. I did pay some personal expenses with business funds simply because it seemed unreasonable and financially a silly decision to set up a payroll service as we would end up losing more money. The numbers are super small - 10k income, 12k expenses and 3k is personal expenses recorded as owner's pay & personal bills in Quickbooks. I guess that means I took a 3k distribution, but really - would IRS go after me for such small numbers plus seeing my business operated with a loss?? Also, do you have any content on S corp election revocation? Thinking of ticking the box in 1120S because it doesn't make sense for my LLC to be an S corp if it can't afford it. I do realize that I would not be able to re-elect for 5 years.

Hey, great vid, i have a question I have searched the entire internet and there is nothing talked about it, hopefully you might be able to 🤞 I have an llc taxed as s corp, me and my partner are the only two shareholders. She is the only shareholder-employee of the llc, i do nothing and therefore im not an employee . Since, im not an employee i do not have to have a reasonable salary, but as a shareholder how can i pay myself my share percentage of ownership ? Lets say shes 70% and im 30% owners, how do i pull out my 30% of available profit( distribution)when im not an employee? Do i simply take out a distribution? I have not found a single video about how non employee shareholders pay themselves maybe this would be a great video idea. Thanks 🙏

when you state pay yourself in the context of being an s-corp you mean as the owner you are a w2 employee of the s-corp correct? If taking withdraws that are separate from the w2 salary it is taken as 1099-nec from the company correct?

In this particular video, yes, I am saying "yourself" is the officer/owner/shareholder of the S Corporation. Your compensation should be paid via payroll and on a W-2. This video discusses a temporary workaround. The distributions can be taken in many ways such as a check, online banking transfer, etc. You would not issue yourself a 1099-NEC for the distributions (even when using this workaround). I created a video called How to Pay Yourself with an LLC. Watch that video - it covers this for S Corporations as well.

Would it make more sense to pay myself from C corp through my s corp? Like let's say that I don't want to get myself into high tax bracket and want to keep money in my c corp for future business investments and have the benefits of S corporation at the same time and I'm not not sure how to keep money in S corporation at the same time plus I don't want business property sale gain tax to pass on my personal tax and raising my total income. What should I do? As I've been self employed as S corp for a while and starting to grow my business now.

Great content. My wife is a dentist and she will receive 1099s from the 2 dental offices she works at. She is also a S - Corp for tax year 2023 and has not taken any reasonable compensation via payroll thus far. Should she keep doing this throughout 2023 based on the fact that she will be getting 2 1099s anyways? Or is there something else she may be doing to avoid being assessed a penalty by the IRS?

You need to pay a tax consultant. You have major problems brewing.

I think you should have clarified or at least alluded that even if you don't take a distribution (or pay yourself) your corporations profits will still pass through to your personal tax return and will be taxed. I think some folks may think that taking or not taking a distribution is what equates to taxes....and that is not the case...my CPA had to correct me on this as well..I used to think if I just don't take a distribution (i.e. leave the money in the business) I wont pay taxes on it until its actually distributed.

Great video. Question? What do you feel is a reasonable salary for a real estate agent. Let just suppose an agent made 1M net profit. I've seen 25%-40% as recommendation based on net. However, lets say the market is not as great the next year and you only do $400K. The question, is it reasonable for your salary to change up and down based on sales. I feel like a more consistent salary of $120K a year (10K a month) is more reasonable as a yearly salary so regardless of the up or down swings, the salary stays consistent. Also salary seem to be something that should be even over the months. If income is distributed as 10/40/40/10 via the year it can be hard know what 25% or 40% of net is as net is not realized. I guess I am having issues with coming up with a reasonable salary in real estate as it is a moving target and your really don't know your year until late Q3 or Q4

Hello! I’m dealing with this issue currently (did not run payroll). My other issue is that I was issued a 1099-NEC from another company, in which I had not changed my direct deposit over from my personal account (I’ve since changed this of course) but all of my 2022 direct deposits were sent directly into my personal account. How to I rectify this retroactively? Thanks!

How would you handle a new retroactive S-Corp election when there was no payroll run prior to the s-corp election?

What about if your tax preparer created a C-Corp for you and you didn’t know. It was a partnership LLC and just file taxes with a schedule C. This was a LLC where the spouses were the partners.

is there a reason why taking the 199a deduction is a bad idea with this work around? and also how is the payroll taxes reflected and accounted for when we do this 1099-NEC alternative to proper payroll?

Hello Navi- In my scenario my business also has other I.C. it distributes 1099 out too. Would I be okay doing it in such a case where I don't elect for distributions to the business. But rather if the business say makes 100k- and I 1099 $70k of that. Can I use the $30k balance to 1099 myself as a solo s Corp owner.

What if your company is still a start up and you haven't taken a pay check or taken a distributions because you are still building the company?

I am a realtor and was issued a 1099-NEC for my S-Corp, but I failed to get on payroll in 2023. Will issuing the 1099-NEC to myself work for me, so it reduces my personal tax return tax liability? Then show distribution on Schedule M-2?

When should i begin my payroll/ begin paying myself if my customer is paying me net 45 from invoice date ?

Hi, I got elected as S corp in September 2023 to be taxed as S corp for 2023 . I didn’t know that I have to do payroll and now we are in January. So should I just issue a 1099 for my self for 2023 and Pay payroll taxes or what should I do? Much appreciate your advice.

Navi, I made SCorp election and paid myself as an employee. WA state rejected my SUI quarterly report telling not to pay SUI or include member of LLC in the quarterly report.

Жыл бұрын

Yea, you should be. You’ll still have to pay FUTA (federal unemployment tax) so just keep that in mind.

OK. So I have a couple of questions. 1) Why eliminate all QBI if one does this method? It seems that "income" from the 1099 would not qualify as QBI because it would have been "amounts received as reasonable compensation" or "W-2 income" if the filer had properly done payroll and claimed their salary as compensation or wages. So for sure the amount reported on the 1099 on the individual income should not get a QBI deduction. However, the amount taken as profit from the distribution on the K-1 should fall under the definition of QBI (if one meets all other requirements to qualify). Correct? 2) What is your position on claiming the payroll tax deduction on line 12 of the 1120S? The filer didn't pay the payroll tax in the form of "payroll" throughout the tax year, but essentially did the same thing when paying both the employer and employee portions of the tax when filing the 1099, correct? So it seems the filer would be entitled to this deduction on the 1120?

So same situation here. As a S Corp didn't run any payroll but took distributions. Married filing jointly and my spouse does have W2 wages to report. Is that ok or do you still recommend the 1099 workaround.

Hi, what would you do with an ITIN Shareholder if they're not supposed to put themselves on payroll (W2)? Technically if an individual ITIN holder who is a US resident can be an S Corp shareholder, so what would be the right way for this person to pay themselves? 1099NEC them every time? Only distributions? Do all shareholders have to be on salary? I can't seem to find an answer to this.

What happens if I have an S corp and the only income was from capital gains but I didn't pay myself a salary or distributions. How does that work? And can I still deduct the expenses from the purchase of the car for the business using section179?

What happens if I always in my taxes show like I took all the profits but never did stay in the account what should I do? Where can I get the course?

Won't the IRS reclassify all 1099 payments made to S Corp owners as W-2 wages? and at the time of discovery will have to pay late filing and late payment penalties?

This is a workaround and the idea is to get on payroll and do things properly immediately after.

well what is reasonable compensation is ? percentage or number wise?

Since the income will be reported on the 1099-NEC do we still generate K1s?

If you start mid year, can you do both, 1099NEC first half of the year and W-2 for the other half?

What happens if as an SCorp, both shareholders have loaned the company a lot of money and draws are being made to pay back on that loan? Is that loan repayment amount to be placed on a 1099NEC? I know what is taxed is the interest rate only.

Hello! I know it's 2024, but in this situation. However, I did the owner draw biweekly for self pay under LLC sole prop. I realized my gross income is >100,000 and I am filing S Corp entity for 2023 after looking at my income. So, what so I do??? Because I did draw money for income biweekly. Thank you in advance

How a about i have not received approval letter for s corp(2553) from irs. And then get the letter in late of the tax year or even at the end. Some suggested start payroll as soon as you submit the form 2553, some said need to wait for approval letter first...and even their accountants need to see the approval letter before starting it. Also, when you receive the approval at the end of the year. And you follow others not to start payroll until then. So can we start payroll as soon as we get the approvals and make bigger payments to cover the previous quarters?

How does this work in conjunction with your retirement accounts?

Navi, Here is the thing...Until December 31 2021, I was owning Partnership. Sent a form 2553 and became S corp effective Jan 1 2022. CPA forgot about the change and forgot to advice me to issue salary or 1099. I had a heart attack and went through bypass. So, for 7 months, didn't focus much on accounting aspect. Hence, CPA filed 2022 tax return income gained through partnership in 1040. IRS sent a mail in June 2023 that I should file s-corp and not partnership. CPA asked me to request for S-corp revocation effective Jan 1 2022. IRS said they cannot do more than 75 days. Now, I have to file s-corp tax return and amend 1040 return. The only issue I feel is that I didnt pay salary for myself. Whats your advice?

Probably need to contact his company directly

changed from LLC to Scorp midyear, Can I set up the payroll late? And file as normal s corp?

Please help make a video for this particular case, and if he makes a solo 401k contribution for himself, that would be helpful. Where would he deduct the contribution?

I have elected s Corp in December 2022. I have not w2 for myself last year. My question is when should do 1099? I’m planning to do my taxes in March. Is it ok to do it then?

The 1099-NEC is due January 31 so if you want to avoid a possible penalty, you should issue the 1099 prior to 01/31.

Small company, in 2020 was the last year I took a pay check. Being on social security I just started liveing on that. I didn't know I had to pay my self. So now I'm 3 years , how can I get this fixed

If the s corp has a owner that have itin number he will always get a 1099 then file form 941 or 940?

Dont you still pay the self employment taxes on the 1099 income? It doesnt save any taxes.

Do i have to issue payroll if my business recorded a loss for the entire first year of business? Im struggling to understand how to pay myself a salary if I actually lost money, even before deductions.

I have an S Corp and I am my only employee. I started this in 2019 and did nothing with the business as I started it as a side business. Starting this month (2 weeks ago) I am now a contractor for my former employer but they will be paying my business and I will be paying myself through my business. Do you think it's the best option for me to do to sign up with a payroll company like Gusto or ADP? They can run payroll (through the software) issue me paystubs and a W-2 at the end of the year to file my 1040. At least my withholdings would be paid throughout the year (through Gusto or ADP) and I would pay my quartley medicare/social security for my business through the EFTPS system which I already set up. This is the better option correct, relating to using GUsto or ADP for myself as an employee? (I live and operate in Florida so I only have state unemployment taxes to pay, FL does not have corporate income tax). Thank you!

What is the income tax form for an LLC taxed as a C Corp?

Isn’t the K1’s sufficient enough as pass through income into the shareholders 1040 returns?

I was going to ask the same thing here. Hopefully he replies 😊

I am grasping this idea pretty well, but I am confused as to why doing this way would mean to zero out the QBID value? Once the amount makes it to my 1040 for personal return, wouldn't I still be able to calculate the QBI deduction and claim that? If not, why?

No because you suppose to be reporting that 1099 NEC as officer salery but now reporting it as self employed income... How you going to screw up by not taking payroll then turn around and take a benifits for qbi for self employment 😂😂😂😂 That is why YOU should not do your own taxes😂😂😂🎉

@@ericwilson2632 it turns out I did get it right, and filed with the side I did for personal 1040 with 1099. And it turns out I'm within the 530 exemption rule as I can stay 1099 as S-corp due to my industry, as it is well over 25% 1099 workers.

Hey Navi, where ru located? Im in this boat and really need help and advice moving forward.

In this scenario, when the single LLC shareholder issues a 1099 for reasonable income, is business mileage deducted on schedule C, when the LLC does not own the car?

Great question I would like to know as well. Do we take deductions via the business or via pass through on the schedule c

Can you show us how they should be reported on the shareholders K-1?

@NaviMarajCPA

Off the top of my head, the K-1 should look the same as if you ran actual payroll. No need to do any overrides or changes.

what if my S Corp was in loss last year? Do I still need to pay myself? I didn't run a payroll to myself

single member s corp- do i file form 940 and 941 indicating the 1099-NEC amount used for this workaround?

What if we payed ourselves the reasonable salary (transaction history from business to personal accoun) just not through payroll?
