I have a single owner / employee in a C corp. For the year, prior to paying the owner, who is the only employee, a salary the C corp will have a loss. Do they have to pay the owner a salary if it will result in an even larger loss?
You might want to read through the following IRS publications, but the basic concern is reasonableness.
