S-corp officers overpay IRS penalties on reasonable compensation every year. WageDefender closes the gap with a 14-page, six-section report grounded in BLS OEWS, ECI-aged quarterly, and stress-tested against four court-recognized factor frameworks. Not a calculator. A documented defense position.
Composite of stress-test pass rate, intake completeness, and data-source quality.
Each engagement uses the same court-recognized methodology. The intake adapts to the role mix.
Per-role SOC breakdown across dentist, hygienist supervision, and practice management. Multi-method reconciliation (Cost · Market · Income) so the figure survives compensation audits and Form 1120-S Line 7 scrutiny.
ECI-aged BLS percentiles by industry + MSA. Distribution-to-salary ratio surfaced with the verbatim IRC §162(a)(1) facts-and-circumstances disclaimer. No silent safe-harbor claims.
Officer-SOC overrides for brokerage + property management roles. Watson Independent Investor test runs alongside Cost Approach so capital-light, high-revenue practices get a defensible figure.
Four load-bearing pillars. Every report carries all four. No LLM-generated prose in the numbers — deterministic rule scoring throughout.
National median wages by SOC, anchored to the IRS Job Aid for IRS Valuation Professionals. Per-role percentile lookup (p10 / p25 / p50 / p75 / p90) across 30+ officer-relevant SOCs.
BLS wage data is aged forward to the report date using the Employment Cost Index — civilian workers, private industry. No stale figures; no silent assumptions.
Every report scores against IRS Nine (FS-2008-25), LabelGraphics 5, Brewer–Owensby 9, and Watson Independent Investor. PASS / WARN / FAIL / DATA-NEEDED on each factor with the primary-authority citation.
Cost · Market · Income approaches run on the same inputs. ±15% corroboration band is the explicit reviewer signal. When methods agree, the figure is documented as corroborated; when they diverge, the variance is surfaced.
