Reduce Your Clients’ Tax Burden through Creative Strategies around QBI Deduction
The most complex and important provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act 2017 is the new Qualified Business Income Deduction (QBID) called the Section 199A 20% deduction for pass-through entities – such as partnerships, LLCs, S-corporations, and some trusts and estates. The QBI deduction provides big tax breaks for many businesses, but there is uncertainty regarding interpretation and implementation, as the IRS may take some time before providing meaningful guidance. As a practitioner, you need to know exactly how Section 199A works, so that your clients can take advantage of the awesome opportunities this provision offers.
