Are You Overpaying in Taxes Right Now?

If you’re self-employed, there’s a good chance you might be leaving thousands of dollars on the table every year — simply by staying a sole proprietor for too long.

 


 

The Problem: Stuck as a Sole Proprietor

 

Many entrepreneurs never revisit how their business is structured.
They start as a sole proprietor (because it’s simple) and stay that way — even after their income grows.

 

But here’s the issue:
When you’re self-employed, you pay self-employment tax (roughly 15.3%) on all your net profit.
That can add up quickly once your business starts earning real money.

 


 

The Insight: What an S-Corp Can Do

 

By electing to be taxed as an S-Corporation, you may be able to reduce how much you pay in self-employment tax.
–> Instead of paying that 15.3% tax on your entire profit, you only pay it on your reasonable salary — not your full business income.

 

That means:

  • You can take part of your income as payroll (taxed like wages),
  • And the rest as distributions (which are not subject to self-employment tax).

 

Sounds great, right?
It can be — but it’s not for everyone.

The S-Corp route adds payroll requirements, compliance costs, and extra filings.

So how do you know if it’s really worth it?

If your business is earning $60K or more in net profit, it’s usually worth checking whether an S-Corp election could reduce your tax bill.
