From the single-member LLC, i pay myself 100k last year to max out on the solo 401k contribution, while still having a W-2 as an engineer as my main job.my main job pays me 170k/year (Google)my single-member LLC rental pays me 100k/year (as S-corp structure)my question is regards to the payroll tax, i know I already max-ed out on the payroll tax on the employee side, any additional payroll side as employee will be refunded in my tax return, how about the employer side.
