The Reasonable Compensation Course
Your clients rely on you for payroll clarity, even when the IRS isn’t clear themselves.
You have probably heard this question more times than you can count:
"How much should I be paying myself?"
Or maybe YOU have wondered if you are paying yourself enough (or too little)?
And as you know, that’s not always a simple answer.
The IRS expects reasonable compensation, but they don’t define it clearly. And that leaves professionals like you trying to strike the right balance between compliance, accuracy, and tax savings.
This course gives you the tools, examples, and language to confidently pay yourself or guide your clients to pay themselves a reasonable compensation.
In this course, you will learn:
What “reasonable compensation” really means (and why it matters)
How the IRS evaluates officer pay and the factors they look at
Step-by-step methods to set a defensible salary
Industry benchmarks for common roles
The difference between wages and distributions (and why the IRS cares)
How to properly document your compensation decisions
Practical tools like checklists, examples, and calculators
