Marie owns one-half of the stock of Starke Corporation and serves as its President. The remaining stock is owned by 10 investors, none of whom owns more than 10% of the outstanding shares. Marie entered a hedge agreement with the corporation three years ago about salary payments that are declared unreasonable compensation by the IRS. Two years ago, the Corporation paid Marie a salary and bonus of $500,000. The IRS subsequently held that $200,000 of the salary is unreasonable compensation. Last year, Starke Corporation and the IRS agreed that $150,000 of the compensation is, in fact, unreasonable. This year, the $150,000 is repaid by Marie to the corporation.
A) The entire $500,000 is taxable to Marie in the year of receipt and $150,000 of the compensation is deductible by Marie last year.
B) Marie must amend the return of two years ago to adjust her taxable compensation to the agreed- upon reasonable amount.
C) The entire $500,000 is taxable to Marie in the year of receipt and $150,000 of the compensation is deductible by Marie this year.
D) Marie must not include the agreed-upon amount in her return since it is not deductible.

We have the most crude accounting tools. It's tragic because our accounts and our national arithmetic doesn't tell us the things that we need to know.
