Flipping homes through an S-corp??

Hey Jason -As you realized, "marginal tax rate" just means the regular tax rate that people are typically subjected to.For 2009, here is what people will pay based on their level of income:http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.htmlRemember, it's a marginal rate, so you pay on a sliding scale as your income increases (higher dollars are taxed more than lower dollars)...not a flat percentage.Everyone in this scenario (you and your parents) will be paying based on the marginal tax rates, not a flat percentage -- which would be the case if the flips were being taxed as a long-term capital gain.And the major tax benefit of the S-Corp election is that your parents only have to pay FICA on part of the income.As for what is "reasonable," my CPA suggests that if I were to take the equivalent of a realtor's commission on each transaction, I could reasonably claim that as my salary and the rest as a dividend.
