I’m a sole proprietor. Can I pay W-2 wages to myself?
As a self-employed person, you cannot receive a salary. You can take a draw from your business bank account to cover your personal expenses, but this has no impact on your taxes. You are taxed on your revenue minus expenses; you cannot subtract the draw.

Installment sale
A sale of property that allows for tax deferment if at least one payment is received after the end of the tax year in which the sale occurs. The installment method does not apply to year-end sales of publicly traded securities. Dealers may not use the installment method. Investors with very large installment balances could face a special tax.
