If you take your deferred compensation payments over a period of 10 years or more, those payments will be taxed in the state where you reside, rather than in the state in which you earned the compensation, possibly reducing your state income taxes.
It isn't only corporations, whether public or closely held, that may and benefit from a deferred compensation plan. Sole proprietorships, partnerships and limited liability companies may also receive benefits from such a plan.
Question 3: Who is affected by Section 409A? Answer: Employees, independent contractors and directors who have entitlements to receive nonqualified deferred compensation are affected by Section 409A, and entities that perform services can be affected.
Exclusion of Non-US Taxpayers The Section 409A general rule requires that all employees be included regardless of whether they are US taxpayers covered by Section 409A. This requires employers to determine what the non-US taxpayer employees' income would be under US tax rules and then convert it into dollars.
