S-corporation Shareholders

I have a question about how to report wages for S-corporation shareholders. I know that the (reasonable) wages portion of their compensation is subject to withholding taxes. But does that mean they get a W-2 for that portion of their compensation, and K-1 for the balance? Or does it all go on a K-1?

Since there's nothing on the K-1 to show taxes withheld, I'd think they'd get both. But I just want to check with those of you who actually do this work.

Thanks.

Hi Stu,

Yes, an S-corp shareholder gets a W-2, and a K-1. W-2 provides info about his compensation, and a K-1 provides info about all other income.

Hope it helps.

Thanks!
