    Comparing something not a problem (and very good) to something a problem... that's not good. haha

    It amazes me that otherwise conservative individuals can be indoctrinated into believing certain things about taxation.

    Please read all about the original intent for the SS system and why it is now in trouble. I can assure you it is not because of the lack of funds received.
    I understand your point, but I just don't know that it matters anymore. Regardless of the original intent of SS, what it is now is a tax on those who are working to support those who are retired. No question it is that way because it's been butchered, but I was just addressing where we are--not where we should be. Legitimate fixes to SS are not politically possible, imo.

    They would be better off paying them selves the bonus if they are a Sub-s or C-corp -

    If they are an LLC/1065 they are drawing out profits (EARNED INCOME) that are then subject to SS & medicare & high tax rate (Income subject to self employment) - and just accounting for it incorrectly on thier personal tax return and opening up a huge potential liability - (most likely)

    If they are a sub-s they could be drawing out excess earnings and subject to a higher tax and basis charge (which is 2nd most likely) - just deferring the taxes until there is a partnership change and then there is a BIG price tag -

    Best thing to is to hire a GOOD CPA and make sure they have their bases covered - if it is a business and they are drawing out money it is EARNED INCOME in some shape form or fashion - if it is rental, it is still subject to tax and the various basis rules but it has to be a TRUE RENTAL or it is subject SE....
