How Much Should You Pay Yourself?

One of the benefits of being a practice owner is having the flexibility to control where the net income from your practice falls on your personal tax return. This translates into the question, "How much should I pay myself?" In today's show, we revisit this conversation and talk through some of the different implications of paying yourself a high or low W-2 salary, specifically as it pertains to the accumulation of your Social Security benefits and it's relationship with the 199A deduction.

As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.
