There are (by now late) payroll tax returns (Forms 941, 940, state) to prepare and file - and pay the tax due. To file most of those forms require state tax ID numbers - which I suspect you don't have yet. The company would issue you - the employee - a W-2 for your wages - and that amount goes with all other W-2's to Line 7. If those wages paid to you by the company zero out profits (the mathematical complexities of that are staggering), then the K-1 would show $0. If you get paid wages, properly reported on W-2, then Schedule SE is not involved. In fact, if there are "S" corporate profits still remaining on the K-1, Schedule SE is not involved. Here's a suggestion, take your stuff to a local CPA or EA for help. Be humble. -- Paul A.

At a minimum, you would have Fed income tax withholding, Employee and employer FICA, employee and employer Medicare tax,, FUTA, SUTA, and Worker's Comp. Most states and many municipalities have their own income tax. Employment taxes(not including the share withheld from wages) are sepa- rately stated on Form 1120S. Also, there probably should be some sort of annual fee to the state of incorporation, and also fees and or taxes to the state or states in which you are doing business.

| Good morning all, Just want to make sure I understood some of your earlier advice. I am the sole owner/shareholder of an S Corp. The corp was set up solely because on of my larger clients can only deal corp to corp. The S Corp earned about $35K this year. On my 1120S, I show this as Gross Receipts. Then on line 8, I show it again as Salaries and wages, making my Ordinary business income $0. I then fill out a Schedule K-1 for myself, showing the income, and use the $35K on my personal 1040 on Schedule SE?. Did I miss anything major? thanks for any advice. You all have been a huge help to this newbie.
