How to Determine an Officer Wage

Article Category: Finances

Author Name: Matthew Anderson

If you own a C Corp or an S Corp, the IRS requires the officers of the corporation to be receive compensation in the form of a reasonable wage . There is a lot of debate on what officer wages are, when it is necessary to pay them, how to pay them, what an appropriate amount to pay is, and so forth. However, if your company is a Limited Liability Company or Sole Proprietorship you are not required to pay officer wages because most of the time there are no officers in these entities.

There is a lot of controversy about officer wages . One of the main reasons for this is the IRS has stated that the wage should be a reasonable wage. So when setting an officer wage, there is not a clear cut way to figure it. Another reason for the controversy is you are required to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes on wages that are paid to officers. These two taxes add up to a mandatory 15.3%. As a result, most business owners want to minimize the compensation to officers, so they can minimize the amount of taxes paid .

If you have determined that you have to pay your officers a wage, there are many things to consider so that you can pay as little tax as possible but at the same time follow the guidelines required by the IRS. Some factors that the courts have considered in determining reasonable compensation include:
• training and experience
• duties and responsibilities
• time and effort devoted to the business
• dividend history
• payments to non-shareholder employees
• timing and manner of paying bonuses to key people
• what comparable businesses pay for similar services
• compensation agreements
• the formula used to determine compensation

Officer salaries are a big thing to factor in when it comes to business tax. They can be a large part of how much taxes you will pay each year. You can actually control how much tax you are paying. But know that officer wages have recently become a big concern for the IRS and should be structured correctly to avoid penalties.
