I am in my first year as an LLC and I just closed a huge contract. My income from the contract will be about $450,000, while my expenses were about $250,000. I will have residual and normal income of about $8,000 per month after this closes.
I want to take out as much money as possible to pay off personal debt that I incurred while I was "out of work" and building the business. I also want to pay off other personal debt as well.
Therefore, I want to pay myself as much money as possible, but pay as little taxes as possible (of course). I primarily want to avoid social security and medicare tax. I understand I can't avoid the income tax. My wife helps me in my business, and I have two kids (both under the age of 10).
I have heard that if I pay myself the money as a distribution, then I don't have to pay SS and medicare taxes - but my distribution amount should not exceed my salary.
What is the best way to distribute this income and pay the least amount of taxes?
Thank
