Besides I work for her during tax season and she pays me (more than I pay myself).

The wage does need to be reasonable, of course. As I outlined previously, though, depending on the range you're talking about, a firm rule that you won't take a dividend more than your salary could potentially eliminate much of the benefit you're getting from the S Corp.
Again, if you're talking about $40k - $50k then you probably shouldn't go more than a 50/50 split. If you're talking about $150k, though, and you're still afraid to adjust that split, then you're losing out on big savings.
To each his own. |
