Sources to determine "reasonable compensation?" for web CEO's
clintavo: Thanks for all the feedback.  OK further clarification:  I am incorporating as an S-Corp.  Income taxes on S-corps flow through to the tax returns of the owners.  No taxes are paid at the corporate level.The IRS doesn't care about the $1 salaries of public CEOs (yes I know apostrophe S isn't plural, it was a typo) because those are C-Corps.  C Corps DO pay taxes at the corporate level so the IRS doesn't care what your compensation is on a C-Corp - they've already collected taxes.I'm sorry I wasn't clear in my first post, I was NOT thinking of a $1 salary or anything like that to avoid taxes.  I'm thinking in the $75K - $150K range but that's just a gut feeling that I'm looking to confirm with some kind of data source in case I have to justify it to IRS.  My CPA is helpful, but he can't give me a total answer because he's not in the internet/web business...I am, hence the reason I posed the question on Hacker News.I do however want to minimize my salary to a REASONABLE level as I don't want to overpay FICA (which caps out at 102K, but several CPAs I've spoken with feel Obama will eliminate that cap), plus I don't want to pay Medicare (3.9%) on ALL of the income the corporation generates - only on the portion reasonably attributable to my salary.I was hoping some of the early stage YC companies or other CEOS/Developers who frequent Hacker News would have some guidance and/or a source for some general ranges of salaries for CEOs of web companies.Thanks again for all your help.
