2023-08-14 IRS Issues Warning for Certain ESOP Programs

This week we look at:

Deduction for non-qualified deferred compensation not accelerated for the seller when the liability is transferred to the buyer of a business 
Tax professionals and taxpayers warned about issues with certain employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) arrangements
Reduction of non-recourse debt amount was added to sales proceeds, not a cancellation of debt so no §108 relief was available
