130 T.C. No. 4
UNITED STATES TAX COURT
MENARD, INC., Petitioner v.
COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
JOHN R. MENARD, Petitioner v.
COMMISSIONER OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent*
Docket Nos. 673-02, 674-02. Filed February 19, 2008.
MI is an accrual basis taxpayer with a fiscal year
ending Jan. 31. S is a cash basis taxpayer who was the
president, CEO, and 89-percent shareholder of MI during
MI’s TYE 1998.
In an earlier opinion, the Court concluded that a
portion of the compensation that MI paid to S during
TYE 1998 was unreasonable and represented a disguised
dividend, and consequently MI was liable for an income
tax deficiency to the extent S’s compensation was not
deductible as an ordinary and necessary business
expense.

Menard, Inc. v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2004-207, and Menard,
Inc. v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2005-3.
