Description
The new tax bill contains changes impacting companies of all types. The new tax bill encompasses provisions directly affecting the income of pass-through entities, requiring careful planning to take advantage of the available tax-saving options and avoid tax compliance or reporting issues.
The tax law allows additional benefits to pass-through entities that require an understanding of a variety of complex provisions. Tax counsel and advisers must be aware of the benefits and limitations of Section 199A regarding the deduction of qualified business income, the available loopholes to optimize tax savings for partnerships, LLCs and S corporations, and considerations for possible entity reclassification along with other tactics to reduce taxable income.
