Treasury Issues Final Rules on Pass-through Bracket
By
The U.S. Department of the Treasury issued nearly 250 pages of final regulations on January 19, 2019, regarding the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act’s 20% income tax bracket for owners of sole proprietorships, partnerships, trusts, and S corporations.
The so-called pass-through deduction is generally available to small business owners with income less than $315,000 for married couples filing jointly and $157,500 for single filers. All the complicated technical details of the final Qualified Business Income Deduction rule can be found by searching “IRS-2018-0021” at www.regulations.gov.
