Where can I hold my taxes due amount until its time to file?

I know business tax is calculated on profit however If I would calculate my taxes due on profit each month where can I keep that "tax amount" while waiting to make the total payment to the IRS? Ex: Month of May income profit is $5000. estimated business tax would be 30% ($1500) where can i put the $1500 until time to pay taxes? Would like to not keep it in the business acct so that the business doesn't accidentally overspend on that money

Do I have to pay taxes on a small class action settlement check? (less than $160)

This settlement was re machines in hospitals which dispense patient drugs. Never thought anything would come of this class action suit. The check I ended up getting is less than $160. Do I have to pay tax on this when I file my annual income tax in 2024?? Or is the amount considered trivial? That's what I'm hoping. Thanks for your input.

How do I handle Distributions?

I have an S Corp and have been using SurePayroll to pay myself 60% of my income using the 60-40 rule. I have not taken much distribution yet, but when I do, how should I do it? Should I use my payroll software? Or can I just ACH myself from my business bank account and note the dates and amounts?

Retirement

Do ira distributions count towards annual max in regards to retirement benefits

I have recently retired early at 62. My benefit is half of what I was bringing in as earned income. My plan is to take withdrawals from my Ira to supplement my income. Is the Ira distribution figured into my max income for the year as far as messing with my retirement benefit? I'm a resident of ks.
