29 III. Owner Compensation Issues in an S Corporation Okay IRS issues Action on Decision where they will not acquiesce to the Singer Decision in its Form: The IRS in the AOD said the following: Loans should be documented, bear adequate interest, and collateralized. The IRS will only respect a loan as such if the taxpayer does as well. and Accordingly, unless a taxpayer objectively substantiates both the existence of a loan and that payments made were in repayment of that loan, the Service will continue to assert that the payment of personal expenses by an S Corporation on behalf of its corporate officer/employee constitute wages subject to Federal employment taxes.
