With the expiration of some Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)-related tax provisions on the horizon, S Corporation shareholders and partners in a partnership could see their effective federal income tax rate increase by 30% by the end of December 31, 2025. With the sunsetting of the 199A deduction and an increase in individual federal income tax rates as of December 31, 2025, the effective tax rate for pass-through entity owners will jump from 30% to 39.6%. This is in addition to growing speculation around the potential increase of the current C Corporation 21% federal rate.
Taxable income for all business income could also increase due to the sunsetting TCJA provisions, including the capitalization of research and experimental expenditures, bonus depreciation dropping to 60% in 2024 and to 40% in 2025, and the application of a more restrictive interest expense limitation calculation among others.
Join this webinar to better understand the bumpy road that may be ahead for your business or your clients.
