Payments to Small Business Owners and Employment Tax
sole proprietors or partners in a partnership/LLC
If you are a sole proprietor, you don’t take a salary in the form of a regular paycheck as as employee. Amounts taken out of a business by a sole proprietor should be accounted for in a draw account. You cannot deduct the sole proprietor’s own “salary” or any personal withdrawals made from the business.
Partners in a partnership also do not get paid a specific salary.
