Section 199A S Corp Considerations

By Jason Watson, CPA
Posted Wednesday, November 1, 2023

Section 199A deduction also known as the Qualified Business Income Deduction (QBID) arises from the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017. This is a significant tax break for small business owners but there are rules and limits of course.

As with any major revision to the tax code, there will be modifications and interpretations which will change how Section 199A can be used for pass-through businesses such as S Corps and partnerships. On August 8, 2018, the IRS released Proposed Regulations 1.199A that introduced new definitions, procedures and restrictions. On January 18, 2019 the Treasury Department and the IRS released the final regulations for Section 199A after reviewing the comments from the proposed regulations.

Here is a quick list links to various things that we’ve put together for Section 199A enthusiasts-

Talk to a Small Business CPA About Your Situation

Please use the form below to tell us a little about yourself, and what you have going on with your small business or 1099 contractor gig. WCG CPAs & Advisors are small business CPAs, tax professionals and consultants, and we look forward to talking to you!

The tax advisors, business consultants and rental property experts at WCG CPAs & Advisors are not salespeople; we are not putting lipstick on a pig expecting you to love it. Our job remains being professionally detached, giving you information and letting you decide within our ethical guidelines and your risk profiles.

We see far too many crazy schemes and half-baked ideas from attorneys and wealth managers. In some cases, they are good ideas. In most cases, all the entities, layering and mixed ownership is only the illusion of precision. As Chris Rock says, just because you can drive your car with your feet doesn’t make it a good idea. In other words, let’s not automatically convert “you can” into “you must.”

Let’s chat so you can be smart about it.

We typically schedule a 20-minute complimentary quick chat with one of our Partners or our amazing Senior Tax Professionals to determine if we are a good fit for each other, and how an engagement with our team looks. Tax returns only? Business advisory? Tax strategy and planning? Rental property support?
