title: Executive pay hide-and-seek. With the IRS poised to inspect compensation at tax-exempt not-for-profits, perks and benefits for hospital executives likely to get much closer attention.
abstract: Not-for-profits will have someone else looking over their shoulder soon--the IRS. The new IRS commissioner overseeing tax-exempt organizations says his unit will look at executive compensation, and execs making more than $1 million are sure to get scrutiny. Healthcare tax lawyer Todd Greenwalt, left, says it's likely the IRS will use the data it gleans to create best-practices guidance.
