To wit, those exorbitant taxes public figures must pay on fees received for speaking engagements simply cannot stand, and Something Should Be Done. So something has been done, a shell game that changes the color of the speaking fees from personal income to corporate profit. Ta da!<\/p>\n<p>VOV sends:<\/p>\n<h3>Remember Joe Biden talking about everyone needing to \u201cpay their fair share\u201d of taxes?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>I\u2019d be surprised if you didn\u2019t&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>What\u2019s interesting is that thanks to his public disclosure of his tax records we can see that what<br \/>\nJoe actually did was use two corporations from which the primary profit was fees for speaking<br \/>\nengagements after leaving office as VP as a vehicle to avoid paying payroll taxes to fund<br \/>\nObamacare and Medicare taxes.<br \/>\nHis 2017\/2018\/2019 returns indicate that the income he received for speaking engagements<br \/>\nwas not indicated as wage income but was instead shown as corporate profit to avoid that tax<br \/>\npayment.<br \/>\nFor a guy who ran on the notion that Obamacare was personal to him it\u2019s entertaining that he<br \/>\ndid everything he could to avoid paying over 120k in taxes to help support it.<br \/>\nAll told they avoided paying a little over a half million in taxes by taking income and calling it<br \/>\ncorporate profit instead.<br \/>\nIn fact this scheme used by the Biden\u2019s is specifically covered in the reasonable compensation<br \/>\nIRS guide in section 3 on page 7 where the scheme is identified as a low paid wage with a high<br \/>\nprofit specifically to AVOID paying payroll taxes&#8230;<br \/>\nFor a media obsessed with Trump\u2019s taxes it\u2019s entertaining to note that no one in the media has<br \/>\nquestioned Biden about any of this, not one talking head jagoff on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX,<br \/>\netc&#8230;etc&#8230;etc&#8230;<br \/>\nWhile none of this is inherently illegal it does walk the line rather closely and<\/p>\n<p>it\u2019s interesting to note what the IRS has to say about it;<\/p>\n<p>3. SUBCHAPTER S<\/p>\n<p>CORPORATIONS<br \/>\nCompensation can be an issue with respect to a corporation that has elected to<br \/>\nbe taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S. If you have a single owner S<br \/>\ncorporation and disallow compensation deducted by the corporation, there will be<br \/>\nno immediate income tax effect. If there is more than one owner then tax issues<br \/>\ncould arise as to the proper party or parties to which a disallowed compensation<br \/>\namount should be allocated. The more likely scenario is that a lesser amount will<br \/>\nbe identified as compensation in order to avoid paying payroll taxes with the<br \/>\nremaining amount treated as owner distributions. In these cases, by determining<br \/>\nwhat a proper level of compensation should be, a Valuation Analyst may make<br \/>\nthe appropriate allocation between amounts subject to payroll tax and amounts<br \/>\nnot subject to payroll tax.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a defense of the previous administration, it\u2019s simply a<br \/>\npoint of reference that indicates rather clearly the deference given to the current administration<br \/>\nby the media in this country.<\/p>\n<p>For my money every administration should be questioned at<br \/>\nevery turn with the same zeal as the previous administration was questioned. We should not<br \/>\nassign trust to any elected official without decades of evidence supporting that trust. Biden has<br \/>\ndecades of evidence proving the opposite and as such should be questioned regularly for the<br \/>\nliar that he has proven to be over the almost 50 years he\u2019s spent in DC.<br \/>\nAs was always the case the facts I mention above are available as public record. The<br \/>\nassessment is however nothing more than my opinion, if you have facts indicating my math is<\/p>\n<p>wrong or my understanding of the tax code is inaccurate feel free to share in the comments. I<br \/>\nlook forward to hearing your thoughts on the discrepancy in coverage.<br \/>\nBe well,<br \/>\nVOV<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For comparison&#8217;s sake VOV was kind enough to provide both a link to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-utl\/Reasonable%20Compensation%20Job%20Aid%20for%20IRS%20Valuation%20Professionals.pdf?fbclid=IwAR28Ck_3ZctajPEImzUk6zhbt-fJrCvXZFmjHke0sFs-Yv7wVp-xC2Brb1s\">IRS Tax Document<\/a> and a chart with Joe&#8217;s taxes from 2017 through 2019.
