Tax Implications of Owner Distributions

As a business owner, figuring out how to pay yourself can be tricky, especially when it comes to taxes. In our latest podcast episode, we break down the tax implications of owner distributions, providing you with practical insights to manage your business finances effectively.

Are you:

  • Confused about the difference between owner’s draw and payroll salary?
  • Struggling to understand how your business structure impacts taxes?
  • Looking for ways to optimize your personal income while staying compliant?

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  1. The difference between owner’s draw and salary, and how to decide which is best for you.
  2. How different business entity types (Sole Proprietorship, LLC, S-Corp, etc.) handle owner distributions and the tax implications for each.
  3. Key considerations like owner’s equity, payroll taxes, and self-employment tax.
  4. Practical examples of paying yourself and how these choices impact your overall tax situation.
