As the owner of a C Corporation you'll pay taxes at the corporate level. You don't have to pay yourself anything. If you do take money out of the corporation for personal use you have to report it. But if you never do then you never do.
Certainly you aren't required to pay yourself if the corporation has no money to do so.
