New IRS Guidance Requires Reporting of Deferred Compensation
What happened
New guidance specifies that deferred compensation must be reported to the Internal Revenue Service. This follows reports detailing how a Minneapolis nonprofit paid its founder and family members nearly $1 million in 2024, which accounted for over a quarter of the organization's spending. The founder stated that his salary was inflated by deferred compensation leading into his retirement.
