You would get a W-2 from the corporation and your wages would be reported under officer wages since you are the owner (officer).

ok, but its my corporation - do I send a w-2 to myself? Not sure of the process to be in compliance. What do I specifically do to be compliant, do i just enter a fair wage on my return and that is it? thanks
