How do you decide how much to pay yourself from your business?

Some owners move money when it’s there. But 𝘩𝘰𝘸 you pay yourself can change 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 you pay in taxes. For example, if you have an S-Corp, you should consider whether you're paying yourself...

Too little?
The IRS can reclassify your distributions and send a bill for the difference.

The goal isn’t to pay yourself less.
