💼 Reasonable Compensation Services

Stay Compliant. Protect Your S Corporation.

If you're an S Corporation owner, setting your own salary isn't just a financial decision — it's a legal requirement. The IRS requires S Corp owners who actively work in the business to take a “reasonable” salary before taking distributions. But what counts as reasonable?

At Tandy Consulting Inc., we help you determine the right compensation based on IRS guidelines, industry benchmarks, and your business's unique profile.

Our expert team considers:

  • Your role, responsibilities, and time commitment
  • Comparable wages in your industry and region
  • Business size, revenue, and profitability

With our support, you’ll not only reduce audit risk — you'll also ensure tax efficiency, proper payroll compliance, and peace of mind.

📊 Let us help you set it right — and defend it, if needed.
