However, substantial distributions in prior or the current year would blunt that argument. Taking substantial distributions at the same time you're taking no or a low salary will weigh against you. And showing a $200,000 distribution from the S corporation while taking a $20,000 salary will quickly stand out.fter all, the only difference between a distribution and salary is usually the social security and medicare taxes on the salary. For example, Madison Inc. has $200,000 in profits before Fred, the only shareholder, takes a salary.
S corporations can legally pay what is considered a reasonable salary to shareholders who are officers of the corporation and who work for the corporation. sole proprietorship doesn't have to pay employment taxes on phantom wages. Paying employment taxes of $4,500 for the privilege of losing $15,000 is ludicrous. I give this example to show how some tax advisors take the requirements of a reasonable salary to unreasonable extremes.
