IRS Reverses Position on 162(m); Public Companies Confused

http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2008/02/irs-reverses-co.html

"In earlier rulings, the IRS had treated payments upon an executive's involuntary termination or termination for good cause as coming within the death, disability, or change in control exception. In PLR 200804004 (1/25/2008), the IRS reversed course and ruled that an incentive pay award would not qualify as performance-based compensation exempt from the § 162(m) $1 million cap where the executive is entitled to the payment in the event of an involuntary termination or termination for good reason."
