Unlock hidden tax savings for pass-through entities by navigating complex phase-outs, SSTB rules, and entity-choice strategies.
Even though it has been around for several years, many practitioners fail to take full advantage of the QBI deduction due to its complexity and many nuances.
In this course, we will discuss how to maximize the QBI deduction. We will get into the details of what QBI includes (and doesn't include), which entity structures work best for the QBI deduction, and what to do if we have negative QBI.
While the QBI deduction is only one deduction on the tax return, for small business owners, it may be the largest and most important deduction that they can take!
Who Should Attend:
Tax practitioners and financial advisors who work with small business owners on tax planning and tax strategy.
CPA, CFP, CLU, CPCU, MST, MBA
