And if there really was additional money that's now missing from undeclared income made at conventions and the such, then that's income that did not get declared to the bean counter and thus not to ir IRS and might thus be tax evasion, right?
Each tax year stands alone. Additionally, corporate income tax filing are due on March 15th, but many companies that owe money will file an extension until September 15th. Owner draws from an LLC are tricky. For a "C" Corp, they must either be reported as personal income (with accompanying 941 income taxes withheld) or treated as a dividend or loan from the company. In the case of a loan from the company, whatever loan amounts were taken out by a stockholder, must be reported as corporate income. This is the worse case scenario for most small businesses because corporate taxes are generally going to be much higher than personal income taxes. An LLC (Like IMR/CGL) is a "pass through" corporation wherein the profits automatically flow to the stockholders. I'm not sure how an owner's draw would affect this. As has been previously mentioned by others, I can't imagine a scenario where fellow stockholders would allow another owner to take a draw without paying it out in the same tax year. At any rate, according to the chart, it appears that most of the owners draws (in monetary value, not necessarily quantity) took place in 2009. If that is indeed the case, (and if any of this is factual at all) IMR/CGL could still correct any potential IRS problems if Loren L Coleman is able to repay the money before September 15th. There are a variety of ways this could be done. The simplest and cleanest is to dramatically increase Loren L Coleman's (and/or Heather's - there's further tax gamesmanship that can be accomplished when your spouse is also an employee) salary dramatically until he is able to repay the owner's draws to the company. To make up for the resulting loss of LLC "pass through" income to the remaining shareholders is not as simple. But, it beats an audit you're likely to enjoy the results of. (Again assuming the factualness of the graph that has been posted).
