Business & farm

Thank you for your help. Looking forward to 2017, would it be better to put ourselves on payroll... instead of taking all income as profit... so for example if we paid ourselves $36,000 on payroll and the business profited $30,000 (instead of $66,000 profit)? Would this have provided better benefit with regard to the high amount of mortgage interest and property tax we pay? Or would there be benefit in additional or different ways?
