I am the corporate officer of my corporation, for tax purposes do I have to...

...report a salary? The reason I asked is because after I just completed income/deductions portion of my taxes and it leaves very little taxable income, and turbo tax is asking if I paid the corporate officer (myself) anything.

Is it necessary to claim that I am taking some sort of salary?

Would it raise a flag to claim that I received no form of compensation and just pay taxes on the capital gained?

I haven't been concerned with paying myself anything, I was more concerned with building the companies capital. I know that the CEO of GM, Rick Wagoner, claimed a $1 salary before. Should I just do the same? Thanks in advance for any help!
