Pays Less Taxes Where the pictures come from

Photographs we served.

Each photograph is used once. The pictures are the counter, the pay stub and the calendar. The setup tile on the home page is a drawing made for this site, with blank lines and no dollar amount. The practice headshot of Steven Palmieri is separate from this list and is not a stock file.

Owners often start thinking about tax at the counter, when sales are good and they wonder why so little is left after tax.

The stub is a wage that was actually paid through payroll, which is how an S corp owner's salary is paid too. The old amounts belong to that mill and that week.

A round wooden calendar set to Saturday the 13th of May. Amitbalani. CC0. Wikimedia Commons. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Manual_scrollable_wooden_wall_calendar.jpg The timing page. Many ways to pay less tax depend on a date, such as December 31 for equipment in use.

The setup tile is drawn here. A navy bar, a shorter green bar, and three blank lines for the tax setup, the year it started and the salary. No client name. No dollar figure. The drawing is not a federal form.

Why these pictures.

The home page opens on a receipt changing hands because the question of tax usually starts with what came in. Two shops can sound alike at that counter and still owe very different tax. The picture stays on the counter. It does not name a town.

The pay stub sits on the salary tile because an S corp salary is a real wage, paid through payroll. The amounts on that 1956 stub belong to that mill and that week. They are not your pay. They show the shape of a wage record: hours, gross pay, tax withheld and net pay.

The calendar sits on the timing page because many moves have a date. Saturday the 13th of May is the date in the photograph. The dates that matter for your plan are on the timing page and the year-end checklist.

Earlier files on this site were a clock, a row of plants, a cup and a succulent. Those files are retired and are not served now. The drawing replaced the plants on the setup tile.

The headshot of Steven Palmieri on the home page is a separate file, held by the practice, and it is outside this list. Each photograph is used on one page. The receipt is not also a tile. The stub is not also the timing page. The calendar is not also the home page.
