Paying yourself correctly as an S Corporation owner is critical to staying compliant and avoiding IRS problems. The IRS expects owners to take a reasonable W-2 salary based on the work they perform, not just distributions. Underpaying yourself can trigger audits, back payroll taxes, and penalties, while overpaying reduces tax efficiency. The goal is a defensible salary supported by market data, your role, and business profitability.
