Are qualified dividends from an s corporation exempt from self employment tax?


ANSWER


Expert Mark Anderson's Answer:

No. However, the issue is whether or not the S-Corporation pays a reasonable salary to the owner. The owner should take out a reasonable salary which would be subject to employment taxes. Here is more information on s corporation owner compensation from our blog.
