Defending the S Corp Owner’s Reasonable Comp!

Original Air Date: Tuesday, January 17, 2023

Between 2010 and 2020 a parade of Court Cases, IRS Factsheets, Job Aids and Internal Memos, plus Heightened IRS scrutiny and Preparer Penalties has brought the issue of “Reasonable Compensation for S Corps” out of the shadows and placed it forefront as a priority issue for CPAs, EAs, and Tax and Financial advisors to cover with their clients. We will explore key court cases, IRS guidelines, preparer penalties and some of the obscure tools the IRS has put in place. We debunk common myths and fiction on how reasonable compensation should be calculated and replace it with facts and methodologies that the IRS relies on, so that you can defend that number on the tax return you file on behalf of your client.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Demonstrate the basic advantages of Distributions V. Salary/Wages 

  • Assess the consequences of an IRS re-characterization of distributions 

  • Review Reasonable Compensation in the courts 

  • Discuss the IRS guidelines for determining Reasonable Compensation 

  • Determine when Reasonable Compensation applies to your client 

  • Explain advanced scenarios 

  • Review Tips from the pros and IRS Red Flags 

  • Review why Reasonable Compensation has become a priority for the SB/SE division of the IRS 

  • Identify options for determining Reasonable Compensation
