If I switch to an S-Corp, can the firm defer paying me a salary until the firm has earned money?  Is there a fee charged to switch from a C-Corp to an S-Corp?

katt,
 
To answer your second question:  this is all going to depend on which state you`re in.  There is most likely a fee but it will vary.  You can probably find the info on your state`s secretary of state website under the business forms or fees section.

Katt,

An S-Corp work very differently than and C-Corp.  An S-corp is a pass thru entity for your income and enables you to report it as a self-employed individual, thus saving you money in taxes, since most C-Corps pay much higher taxes.

To answer your first questions, the answer is yes.  Being that an S-corp is just  a pass thru entity, the income or loss with inebitably end up being yours whether or not your pay your self a salary or not.
