Talk to CPAs About Tax Reform and Qualified Business Income
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) made several changes to the tax code effective for 2018.  In addition to lowering some business tax rates, a new 20% qualified business income (QBI) deduction may be available to pass through entity clients with joint total taxable income of $315,000 or less ($157,500 or less if single). How can we help? A qualified retirement plan! Contributions to a qualified plan are still TOP LINE DEDUCTIONS.  What does that mean?  It means employer contributions to a qualified retirement plan may help lower a client’s income enough to take up to an additional 20% deduction on their taxes.  Talk to your CPA contacts today about the way a new qualified plan can help their clients utilize the new QBI deduction for 2018.
