T

earnings continue to be character­
ized as self-employment income sub­
ject to self-employment tax. In addi­
tion, although deferrals no longer
delay the payment of self-employ­
ment taxes, they remain effective as
a method of postponing income
taxes.
Social Security Benefits
Under the Act, deferred fees also
are included in the year services are
performed for purposes of calcul­
ating the limitation on Social Securi­
ty benefits received. Therefore, de­
ferred directorship earnings now
cause a reduction in Social Security
benefit entitlements if the earnings
that year, including deferred direc­
tor’s fees, exceed certain limitations
in the year services are performed.
Contrary to reports that have ap­ This eliminates the frequently used

tive for services performed in tax­
able years beginning on or after
January 1, 1988.
Keogh Plans
Changes in the taxation of selfemployment income also impact a
director’s ability to claim a deduc­
tion for his Keogh contributions.
For Federal income tax purposes,
Keogh contributions may be made
only from amounts that are earned
income. However, deferred director
fees are not treated as earned in­
come in the year of deferral since
such amounts are not included in
gross income. Therefore, Keogh de­
ductions are not available in the
year of deferral. Similarly, as
amended by the Act, deferred direc­
tor fees are not earned income in the
year received. Therefore, a director
is precluded from making Keogh
contributions even in the year he
receives the deferred fees. It should
be noted that contributions to a
Keogh plan are still deductible if the
fees on which the deduction is based
are not deferred.
Finally, recently released pro­
posed regulations would limit the
ability of inside directors to main­
tain Keogh plans. Essentially, these
regulations propose to consider an
inside director’s Keogh plan as
maintained by the corporation for
whom the director works. As a
result, the Keogh plan is required to
be combined with other plans that
the corporation maintains to deter­
mine if the collective plans meet the

proposed regulations would limit an

a Keogh plan based on director fees

In short, many of the assump­
