RCReports - Reasonable Compensation

🚨 “It’s never happened to me” is not a defense in an S Corp audit.

We saw a case where a shareholder took:
❌ $0 in reasonable compensation
❌ $45,000 in distributions

The IRS response?

✅ Reclassified distributions as wages
✅ Assessed payroll tax + penalties (~$20K)
✅ Opened the door to auditing additional years

This isn’t rare anymore.
The IRS is actively targeting S Corps with low (or no) compensation and high distributions.

If you can’t defend the number, you’re exposed.
