Dr. Sanders is a veterinarian who is the sole proprietor of Vet, Inc., an S corporation. The corporation offers Dr. Sander's consulting and surgical services to other veterinarians. Dr. Sanders does not receive regular payments from the corporation, but withdraws funds as the need arises. During the current, he withdraws $118,000, and the net income of the corporation is $225,000. The corporation does not deduct the $118,000, nor does Dr. Sanders include it in his gross income. He does, however, report the $225,000 in his gross income. Because Dr. Sander's has recognized all of the corporation's income, he sees no need to pay himself a salary. He justifies the treatment by arguing that he is not an employee. (he is the owner.) of the corporation and that the federal income tax consequences are the same.
