    I think executive pay is only allowed for tax purposes up to $1 Million (correct me if I am wrong) so on schedule M-1 you would add 500,000 back to taxable income because you deducted the full 1.5 to get to taxable income and you are only allowed to deduct 1 million.

    Oh yeah! Oh yeah! I even knew that junk about splitting the CEP half for each distribution and then applying the beginning AEP to the first distribution. Where did that knowledge come from???
