CPAR - 2018/October, Seg.01 - Educating Your Client (and Yourself) on the Sec. 199A Deduction

Course Overview
As tax advisers increasingly prepare clients for changes in their 2018 tax liability, it is also time for the IRS to release its regulatory guidance on the new 20% deduction of qualified business income for the owners of pass-through businesses and the other changes produced by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. As promised, regular expert commentator Barbara Weltman focuses exclusively on the potential benefits, as well as the very real pitfalls, surrounding the QBI deduction and IRC sec. 199A.



Learning Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this segment, you should be able to:

  • Identify why Congress provided the qualified business interest deduction for pass-though entities;
  • Distinguish between the QBI for those taxpayers with incomes under the "threshold amounts" and those with incomes over it;
  • Define what UBIA stands for and why it is important; and
  • Explain the impact of a business from being classified as a
    "specified service trade or business" (SSTB).
