Questions & answers

Will this report hold up if the IRS asks questions?

“The three calculation approaches are the ones described in the Reasonable Compensation Job Aid for IRS Valuation Professionals, a 2014 reference guide written by IRS valuation professionals (it says it is not an official IRS position). The wage data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.”

What is reasonable compensation?

“It’s the salary an S-corp must pay its owner-employees for the work they perform. The IRS requires it to be comparable to what someone in a similar role would earn in the open market. Getting it wrong can trigger penalties, back taxes, and interest.”

How much does a report cost?

“A single report is $199. Tax professionals can also choose an annual plan: Starter $499/year for 10 reports, Professional $999/year for 30, or Firm $1,499/year for 60 ($24.98/report on the Firm plan at 60 reports).”
