Section 199A is by far one of the most complex things to come out of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act in late 2017. If you are like most practitioners, you may be left wondering, now what? What am I supposed to do with this now that I am stuck with trying to figure this thing out for tax returns, and what exactly is this new 20% deduction?
When it first came into effect, there were many unknowns. Even though we now have the benefit of having final regulations issued, there are still a few things that have not been decided or defined or are still waiting on comment in order to issue additional regulations.
This course will give you what we do know and information based on the most recent corrected final regulations issued on February 4, 2019. Also, it will help outline all that you need to know to navigate this tricky deduction for current and future tax seasons.
We will help make sense of all the calculations through the worksheets we provide and even go through some basic planning ideas as we go.

-
Have a deeper understanding of Section 199A information under the TCJA.
