Paying Yourself from an LLC
An LLC owner can pay themselves through owner’s draw, salary, profit distributions, or independent contractor pay. The choice depends on various factors like business structure and personal finances.
Withdraw Money from LLC Bank Account
Owners can withdraw money from the LLC’s profits as needed through an owner’s draw, transferring funds to a personal account, or writing a check.
Tax Considerations and Business Structure
LLCs offer liability protection and tax advantages, allowing owners to separate personal assets from business debts. Owners should save 25–30% of income for taxes and consider different payment options.
Transferring Funds Between LLCs
For single-member LLCs, it is legally permissible to transfer money between entities. This includes transferring money between LLCs that are treated as disregarded entities.
Employee Compensation and Taxation
Paying oneself as an employee from an LLC offers regular compensation and tax advantages. Different payment methods like profit distributions, guaranteed payments, or salaries have varying tax implications.
