"The owner draw I have been referring to is this 'reasonable salary'."  Reasonable salary/compensation is what you must pay yourself as an employee of the S-Corp.  

 

If your consulting business is making $200,000, and you have no employees, $80,000 may  not be reasonable compensation.  

 

I can't help you with TaxAct, but I can say that it sounds like you are trying to report your S-Corp on Schedule C, as if you were self-employed.  If your not already, you need to be filing Form 1120-S.  This requires a separate business program.  For information about, and to purchase TurboTax for Business download or CD, go to:  TurboTax Business  You might want to seek to the advice/help of a local tax professional.
