Bernard Cook · Answer 1

True

Explanation:

An S corporation is one that provides a limited liability to the owners. Their personal prooery are shielded from creditors of the business entity.

Taxes for self employment in this instance is paid only on earnings that are wages. There are no self employment taxes on the business's profits.

So in this scenario if your friends pay self employment taxes on company profits, then it is different from an S corporation.

The statement is therefore true
