The Insider’s Guide to Reasonable Compensation

Description

Since 2010 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 Tax and Financial professionals to cover with their clients.  The Insider’s Guide to S Corporation Reasonable Compensation and IRS Enforcement explores key court cases, IRS guidelines, preparer penalties and some of the obscure tools the IRS has put in place.  The guide will 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 help clients set their reasonable compensation and defend it if the IRS comes knocking.
