AFTERNOON PD SESSION: TAX REFORM - POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND PLANNING OPPORTUNITIES
How much do you really know about the provisions included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (The Act)? There may be planning opportunities available or other changes necessary to comply with the new law.
In this session, RSM expert, John Lisi, will provide strategic considerations to help you prepare for upcoming changes, including:
Corporate tax rate – Rates are reduced from a top rate of 35% to 21%.
Pass-through businesses – Many pass-through entities and sole proprietors are allocated a deduction resulting in excluding 20% of business income. For owners otherwise subject to the top 37% individual tax rate, the effective tax rate on qualified income will be reduced to 29.6%.
Capital expensing – The legislation provides for immediate expensing (i.e., 100% bonus depreciation) for certain qualified assets acquired and placed in service after Sept. 27, 2017. The 100% bonus depreciation benefit will begin to phase out in 2023. The Act also increased the expensing allowance under section 179 to $1 million, also subject to a phase-out.
