"Hey! Good news : your bonus was just approved : you're getting $60,000."
"Er, um...thanks. I guess."
"Why? What's the matter?
"Well, you know I'm getting divorced. And that's just going to increase the amount my spouse is going to demand."
"Hmmm. What if we give you an "expense reimbursement" of $60K? And we pay it out in installments so your pay stubs don't show one big hit?"
"Great idea. That way, the business continues to get a deduction and I don't have to pay taxes on it, because it's not "income"."
Win/win.
Until the deposition. Or the trial. Or the forensic accountant. Or the IRS.
YMMV.
