Description

IRS loves to attack payments from closely held businesses to owners, particularly owner employees.  The story is as old as the hills, but lately it plays out with some unexpected twists and turns.  Lessons learned from recent developments provide meaningful guidance as to how to structure to achieve optimal tax treatment of such draws.
