I thought wages were deductible anyway. Say you pay a developer $250,000 a year. The employee pays the tax on their own wages.

No, not in this case. 250k is an expense for the company. Company had to amortize this expense over 5 or 15 years. (15 for software engineers outside of the US)

    Yikes. Does that apply to outsourcing?
