Best Answer

This is a double sided question. The direct answer is that Obama will not raise taxes on S-Corporations. S-Corporations rarely pay taxes. Their profits flow through a schedule K-1 to the owners individual income tax return.

If Obama raises personal income taxes, which he probably will, then yes you will pay more.

The biggest issue with Obama and S-Corporations is the fact that Obama wants the profits from an S-Corporation to be subject to Social security Taxes. Under present law, an owner of an S-Corporation can take distributions of profits and not pay social security taxes. The only tax you pay on S-Corp profits is federal income taxes. If he does pass this change then owners of S-Corps will pay upwards of 15.3% of their profits for Social Security Taxes. Thus eliminating the need to form an S-Corp.

There is no such thing as "supports taxes" or "does not support taxes." Taxes are a fact of life, there is no way for Pres. Obama to not support taxes. President Obama supports a progressive tax, meaning rates are higher on the rich then the poor.

He isn't. This is political rhetoric from the president's opponents.

How much has Obama raised taxes?

Actually, most objective sources say he has cut taxes, especially for small businesses and working families. His political opponents claim he raised taxes on everyone, but there is not much evidence to support this claim. In late 2011, the fact-checking site Politifact.com said President Obama's assertion that he had lowered taxes for the middle class was true.

Do Corporations pay their fair share of taxes?

Corporations and the wealthy in the United States pay the vast majority of taxes to support the country. 5% of the people in the United States pay 95% of the taxes collected. I am certainly not one of these 5% but I do recognize that the wealthy in this country support the rest of us as they pay their share and our share of the taxes. They also produce the jobs through business ownership and investments to companies so that they can expand and offer jobs to the rest of us. It takes this type of investments and business ownership to run this country and probably the rest of the countries as well.
