ahh but you can&#x27;t pay yourself entirely from dividends. at least, if you are speaking form the standpoint of a US citizen&#x2F;tax payer. there is a vague but very well litigated stipulation that your wages must be &quot;fair&quot; and commensurate with the work you do for the corporate entity you own. if not, they&#x27;ll just say your dividends were wages and you owe back taxes + interest and penalties.
