**5 things you may not know about paying yourself as an S-corp owner.**

When we review an S-corp’s payroll, we look beyond “Did you pay yourself?” We look at the work you do, how money reaches you, and whether your compensation reflects your role.

Here’s what deserves your attention before year-end:

**1. Calling a payment a “distribution” doesn’t settle its tax treatment.**
If it replaces reasonable compensation for your work, the IRS can reclassify it as wages.

**2. There’s no universal salary percentage.**
A split you saw online doesn’t establish reasonable compensation. Your responsibilities, experience, hours, and comparable pay matter.

**3. Running payroll doesn’t automatically mean your compensation is appropriate.**
Paying yourself a salary is a starting point. The amount still needs to make sense for the services you provide.

**4. Your management work counts, too.**
Even when employees generate the revenue, your work managing the business can factor into your compensation.

**5. Your P&L is only part of the picture.**
We also need to understand wages already paid, owner distributions, and your role. Reviewing those together helps us identify what needs attention.

**This is why we’re asking S-corp owners to schedule their year-end payroll review now.**

At Joffe Tax Advisors, we can review your numbers, assess your compensation and payroll needs, and help coordinate the next steps.

**Don’t wait until December to find out what needs to happen before year-end. Call now to arrange your review.**

October 15 is almost here. Is your extended return actually ready?
If you requested an extension for your 2025 individual tax return, this is the point when you should be confirming the entire filing process—not just gathering paperwork.

Start by checking whether anything is still missing: income documents, brokerage statements, digital-asset records, business or rental information, payment confirmations, life changes, preparer questions, signatures or authorizations.

One important distinction: an extension generally extends the time to file—not the time to pay. If tax was due at the original deadline, penalties and interest may already be relevant.

And if October 15 passes before an applicable return is filed, additional late-filing consequences may apply.

Already a Joffe client? Log in to TaxDome and complete any outstanding requests as soon as possible.

Still need guidance? Joffe Tax Advisors can assess your situation and explain the next available steps. With the deadline approaching, new engagements and completion before October 15 cannot be guaranteed.

Owing taxes can feel overwhelming. Ignoring the issue usually makes it harder to resolve.

The first step is getting a clear picture: what is owed, which notices or deadlines are still open, whether any returns are missing, and which options may fit your situation.

Depending on the facts, options may include a payment plan, penalty relief, a temporary collection delay, or an offer in compromise. Not every option applies to every taxpayer—and eligibility matters.

Swipe through for practical next steps and how Joffe Tax Advisors can help you review the situation with clarity.

New clients: call (310) 287-1700 or send us your contact information and the best times to reach you. We’ll help you understand the possible next steps.

If you owe federal taxes, the most important first step is not to panic—it is to get organized and understand what is actually open.

Start by keeping every IRS notice, confirming the balance and deadline, filing any missing returns, and paying what you can. Interest and penalties may continue while a balance remains unresolved, but there may be options depending on your circumstances.

Those options can include a payment plan, penalty relief, a temporary collection delay, or—in limited qualifying situations—an offer in compromise.

Joffe Tax Advisors can help you review notices and balances, identify missing items, organize records, and understand practical next steps. We do not promise a particular outcome; every tax situation and eligibility determination is different.

New clients: call (310) 287-1700 or contact our office to request a complimentary 15-minute strategy call.

An extension gives you more time to file — not more time to pay.

If your individual return was extended, October 15 is generally the final day to file. But if you still owe tax, interest and possible late-payment penalties may continue. Missing the filing deadline can also lead to late-filing penalties.

Swipe through for the distinction between filing and paying, and what to do next.

October 15 is the deadline for many extended individual tax returns.

Before the deadline, make sure your documents have been provided, estimated-tax payments are verified, and any remaining questions have been addressed.

The earlier we understand what is still open, the better we can advise on the appropriate next steps.

Review the October 15 guide, then contact Joffe Tax Advisors if you need help moving your return forward.

Availability depends on timing, complexity, and document readiness.
