    Good job, my firm does payroll for 155 clients. We like 70-75% payroll 25-30% shareholder distributions. Also pensions are controlled by salary paid to the shareholders only. Draws/Distributions are not earned income and do not help for SEP contributions. I know that you know that but you may want to add that topic to your next one.

    Thanks Hector! I have two new single employee (me) LLCs and this is my first time doing this... I am trying to decide what QB tools I need. I want to track the corporations' HSA, IRA, and 401 contributions - as well as payroll - I think. I am not clear on how to measure if these deductions from the net profit of the company are beneficial tax-wise, or if I am simply trading where I pay taxes - (my personal income taxes versus paying via the LLCs'). Is there a template that might help small businesses to figure this out? ...What QB version do you recommend and why?

    Hi , Well, I did buy a version of Quikbooks and never got it set up this year. Now it is Dec. 6, 2022.
    I just watched your video. I had asked my CPA about an S corp 2 years ago. He said that he did not think I made enough money to even think about that. While it is true that I do net very little money now. I do have 2 new rentals that are currently not generating anything till I get some folks
    to rent them. Then I have 2 new RV Pads that are almost done, missing the electric meters at over $4k , and that is exactly why. I did sell a home near my CPA and did a 1031 exchange for one of the rentals. Anyway, every video I have seen with you and atleast 3 other Tax people, all say, "

    I configured an employee for payroll, which was previously considered Contract Service. The employee's name was changed with a new nomenclature, but when I go to see in the window where the taxes are configured, it appears as Contract Service, instead of Payroll Expense. I'm trying to edit it, but I don't know how to do it. Could you help me how to do it? I appreciate it.

    Does this apply in the UK? How do you pay yourself a salary as the owner of a business in the UK? Does the salary get paid out of the revenue or the net profit of the company? The salaries of my employees will be paid out of the revenue, but what about my salary? Am I entitled to choose exactly how much salary I get (assuming the business can afford it)? Does the salary get paid into my personal bank account, or should I set up another limited company business and bank account (separate from the business that I own) in order to pay my salary into? How is my salary taxed? I am in the UK btw.
