    • @mostsecuredlogistics4337
      @mostsecuredlogistics4337 Рік тому +1

      Yes. The $4,000 "was" part of the $9,650 profit when he deducted the 30% tax or $2,895. AFTER he deducted the 30% tax (which is what IRS was requiring from him according to his Accountant) he was able to pay himself from that - already taxed - profit a salary of $4,000. In other words, he payed himself from the profit but only AFTER the profit was TAXED.
      If he had paid himself the $4,000 BEFORE taxing the profit, then the profit would have been only $5,650 (=$9,650 - $4,000) and he would have only paid $1,695 in taxes (30% of $5,650). However, this method would not be following the IRS rules and regulations.
