I have a vague plan, but want to try to see if there are any other actions I could take aside from the S corp option. That is all I have been advised of at this point, and before I started the process wanted to bounce it off the Money Talk gurus.

I'm an LLC that is treated like an SCorp. Works great for me.

Fully subject to SE taxes, no different than sole proprietorship unless you elect S corporation taxation.

SE tax is 14% I think

it's like 15.3 but you cant eliminate all of it since you have to pay yourself a salary. just wondering what the guys here were averaging

Same. Keep your salary as low as you can, but be reasonable.

Same here. LLC taxed as s-corp. We've bumped salaries down to reasonable level and take distributions. Not sure your business, but the lowered payroll burden also saves us some money on G/L and WC insurance (construction biz). This wasn't something I considered when we first set everything up.

If you make no money, you pay no S/E tax =)
Do you have employees?
Be advised, both the IRS and the states are talking a long, hard look at S Corp shareholder-employees salaries and just how "reasonable" they are.
Remember the old saying, pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered!

Besides the IRS saying your low salary is unreasonable, the lower the salary, the less money you can put into retirement. If you have a one person business, you need to have $212,000 in wages to max out your SEP at $53,000. The SEP contribution tax savings more than offsets the SS and MC tax on the additinal wages.
