10. I really don't want to give you bad advice

The best idea is to check with an accountant.
My recollection is that anything earned as wages is subject to the 15.3%.
When I paid myself and family members from my S corp I used the online payroll feature from my bank. There is apparently some break point where you need to file the withholdings monthly as opposed to quarterly. I never new what made the difference or how much or if it had to do with how many employees were paid on the payroll. I think the form # was 940 or 941.

Sorry I'm not more help.
Good luck.
