Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Christina Galdieri they should be getting a paycheck, but you can also ask for a bank statement to verify VA direct deposit. 

Quote from @Michael Plaks: This is one of those confusing tax issues that does not have a short answer: do I need to send Forms 1099-INT to my private lenders, and do they need to send me Forms 1098?

@Nicholas L. and @Michael SmytheThank you for your invaluable insight.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Thomas Talbert your CPA should be telling you that you need to make yourself a W-2 employee of the company and pay yourself a monthly paycheck.The payroll tax deductions will help avoid a huge end of the year tax bill.Also, too large of a tax bill will piss off the IRS and they may charge you penalties + interest for not making quarterly estimated tax payments.That won't help.Yes, his property management business would get a deduction but he would also have to report the wages as income.

@Michael Chalke  I would also say unbalanced machines make a loud noise.   

@Michael S.Yeah, you could be right about Decatur, though they are widening 565, so I thought that could (potentially) drive more people to look down in Decatur (many already do commute between Decatur and Huntsville).
