Short answer, no. I'm an accounting student. As others have said, it might behoove you to check in with an accountant. Paying yourself through a company that doesn't make any money isn't likely to work. I'll check up on my sources and see what would happen if you did pay yourself a salary. I think you'd just pay taxes on it or it might just qualify as a return on capital if it's just your money.

Yes, it's 100% my own money. It seems my question was perceived in an unintended way - Why I'm asking here is because I don't want to pay a salary to myself and get double taxed, unless there is some legal/tax requirement that prevents me from working on growing the company without a salary. Thanks for the short answer.
