How self employed barbers and hair stylists pay themselves pt 1 | How booth renters pay themselves

Self-employed barbers and hair stylists either booth rent or lease small individual salon suites. The overwhelming majority of these hair professionals are sole proprietors or single member LLCs taxed as sole proprietors. This means as the business owner you’re only able to pay yourself by taking withdrawals from your business bank account. Here are 3 takeaways for paying yourself this way:

1. Make sure all business income is in a separate bank account from your personal funds.
2. Keep track of all your business income and expenses.
3. Save 20-25% of what you take home for taxes.

One thing to point out here, when you’re self-employed and not working as an independent contractor, you won’t receive a 1099 or W-2 at the end of the year with all of your income reported. This is why #2 is so important because as the business owner, you’re responsible for telling the IRS how much money you made throughout the year.

You’ll want to save 20-25% of what you take home for quarterly taxes that are paid to the IRS. Saving this money throughout the year and paying these taxes quarterly is not only required by the IRS but will also help you avoid a large tax bill at the end of the year.

But how can you not take money out of your business bank account if you are relying on that money to pay your bills/etc? I think I might have misunderstood something.

Is it better to open an LLC at the beginning of the year or towards the end of the year? I know there is a new law for LLC 2023
