Setup S-CORP for rental/investing (stock) business
I am thinking of setting up S-Corp and have few questions.
Business Activities:
1) Rental business for property to be owned by the S-Corp
Revenue : 20K approx.
Income after expense will be less than 14K
2) Investment / Stock Market Trading
Questions
- Is Rental business and Investing considered purely a passive Income activity
- Can I take all Rental Income as distributions without paying myself a salary
- If I need to pay myself salary, what should be the guidelines
- If I have a Trade windfall and have capital gains of 50-100K in a year, can all be taken as distribution after taxes
- What is the probability that IRS will look at this setup and impose fines and cancel S-Corp election, if there is ZERO payroll taxes
Reason
My goal is to reorganize my Rental / Investment assets into S-Corp. This can help getting Federal-Student-Aid for my kid. Small business assets are excluded from Federal student aid FAFSA calculations.
