under examination by the IRS. The client is the president and 95%

building supply business for the years under examination. The issues
identified in the NPA are unreasonable compensation, stock
redemptions, and a rental loss. Additional facts regarding the issues
are reflected below:
· Unreasonable compensation: The taxpayer receives a salary of $10
million composed of a $5 million base salary plus 5% of gross
receipts not to exceed $5 million. The total gross receipts of the
building supply business are $300 million. The NPA by the IRS

company redeemed 50% of the outstanding stock owned by the client
and 50% of the stock owned by the client’s son, leaving each with the
same ownership percentage of 50%. The redemption was treated as a
distribution under Section 301 of the IRC by the IRS.

compensation in the future and avoid the taxation as a constructive
dividend.
4. Use the six (6) step tax research process to record your research for

laws regarding unreasonable compensation, stock redemptions treated
as dividends and related party losses. Be sure to use the six (6) step
