I know they should not be on payroll.. I am getting push back from a client that started a SMLLC and they are trying to tell me it is fine to be on payroll.  I sent them some payroll articles saying how the owner should just take a member draw but they are insisting all their colleagues who started their own LLC pay themselves through payroll.  Besides sending them the articles showing how that is not proper to be on payroll what do you think I should do?  Note: When looking for articlese on the topic I ran across one that said it was ok to be on payroll.. that seemed to be the exception and maybe the author just is not informed on the topic.
