This course will discuss states' pass-through entity (PTE) taxation regimes and when and how to elect PTE taxation in applicable states, as well as analyze the ultimate taxation of owners to mitigate taxes paid.

Description

This course will discuss states' pass-through entity (PTE) taxation regimes and the various traps that PTEs and their owners can fall into, and how to avoid them. Almost all of the states have enacted PTE taxes in response to the 2017 Tax Act, which added a $10,000 cap on deductible state and local taxes paid by individuals. The enactment of these PTE taxes has created significant complexity because of the subtle differences in the mechanics inherent in the different PTE taxes. These subtle differences can cause a PTE and/or its owners to fall into the trap of paying more in Federal income and/or state taxes if state PTE elections are made.

Richard W. Spengler, National Technical Leader for State and Local Tax at BDO USA and Kimberly Capizzi, Managing Director in State and Local Tax at BDO USA will cover PTE taxation methods, examples of common PTE taxation scenarios, and key caveats to consider before electing PTE treatment in states where payment of the tax is elective. Listen as our panel of state and local tax experts use a case study approach to address the issues that are commonly encountered with state PTE taxes.
