Golden Parachute Payments  
A portion of the payments made by a corporation to key  
personnel that exceeds their usual compensation may not  
be deductible. This occurs when the corporation has an  
agreement (golden parachute) with these key employees  
to pay them these excess amounts if control of the  
corporation changes. See section 280G and Regulations  
section 1.280G-1.

Limitations on compensation.  
For tax years beginning after 2017, for purposes of the  
deduction for employee compensation in excess of $1  
million, the definition of "covered employee" has changed.  
Other special rules also apply. See Disallowance of  
Million, later.  
Disallowance of Deduction for Employee  
Compensation in Excess of $1 Million  
Publicly held corporations cannot deduct compensation to  
a “covered employee” to the extent that the compensation  
exceeds $1 million. Generally, a covered employee is:

officer of the corporation (or an individual acting in that  
capacity) at any time during the tax year;  
An employee whose total compensation must be  
reported to shareholders under the Securities Exchange  
Act of 1934 because the employee is among the three  
highest compensated officers for that tax year (other than  
the principal executive officer or principal financial officer,  
or an individual acting in that capacity); or

financial assistance under TARP remain outstanding. The  
$500,000 is reduced by any amounts disallowed as  
excess parachute payments. See section 162(m)(5) for  
definitions and other special rules. Also see Notice  
2008-94, 2008-44 I.R.B. 1070, for additional guidance.  
In addition, any excess parachute payments made to a  
covered executive by an applicable employer participating  
in a Treasury TARP are not deductible as compensation if  
the payments are made because of a severance from  
employment during an applicable tax year. For this  
purpose, a parachute payment is any payment to a senior  
executive officer for departure from a company for any  
reason, except for payments for services performed or  
benefits accrued. These limits do not apply to a payment  
already treated as a parachute payment. See section  
280G(e) and Notice 2008-94.

deferred arrangement, or amounts contributed under a

If the corporation claims a credit for any wages paid or  
incurred, it may need to reduce its deduction for officers’  
compensation. See section 280C. If the corporation  
provided taxable fringe benefits to its officers, such as  
personal use of a car, do not deduct as wages the amount  
allocated for depreciation and other expenses claimed  
elsewhere on the return.
