Editor's Notes
IRS is getting better at identifying all types and sources of compensation and treating them as a whole. Key employee has substantial authority in an organization (10%+ of budget) and compensation greater than $150,000 Highly compensated employee does not have to be a key employee; six-figure salary plus a “facts and circumstances” test
