For Flippers
Episode 16: How Real Estate Agents, Flippers, and Wholesalers Save Thousands in Taxes with S-Corps
Electing to have your business taxed as an S-Corp can provide quite a bit of tax relief. However, you must be aware of the operational and payroll requirements necessary to make this election or run an S-Corp. This involves paying yourself a reasonable salary, subject to the 15.3% SE tax. If you pay yourself more, this is done in the form of distributions, and is not subject to this tax.
