Deciding how to balance expenses in a small corp is not a "huge scam" If it were so, then what would be the "honest" solution? Having the government tell S-Corp owners what they should have paid themselves (and therefore what FICA they owe)? Having a standard FICA bill that "fairly" everyone would owe?<p>The more you over-complicate the system, the more things are going to happen that you personally think of as a "scam". Is a realistic solution to complicate the system further?<p>Put me on the side of small business owners being able to allocate payroll expenses as they see fit, and not on the side of arbitrary fees and fines to make everybody else happier, whether that's for healthcare or FICA.
