    Solution and Explanation:

    The calculation of tax saving is shown below:

    if B is getting the whole amount of salary the combined FICA tax liability of B and S Corp will be:

    = $110000 multiply with 15.3 divide by 100

    = $16830

    If B is getting $50000 as salary the combined FICA tax liability of B and S corp will be

    = $50000 multiply with 15.3 divide by 100

    = $7650

    thus the tax saving will be:

    $16830 minus $7650

    = $9180

    The IRS can deem this arrangement unfit as make it mandatory for B to get the whole amount as salary. In that case, no change will take place in the tax liability.
