They ended up agreeing to allow a random as fuck 20% tax deduction for pass through entities. Originally this excluded lawyers and professional service firms but now were included up to $315k.

Lol at wagecuck lawyers paying huge tax bills while I get like a $45,000 deduction.

If you're still on the fence about going solo, just fucking do it.

Not a taxmo but presumably equity partners could take advantage of this if the firm elects pass through taxation.

There was a loophole in one of the bills, not sure if it is still there, that would allow firms to set up an LLC that would then pay associates, and they’d get the pass through rate. Doubt firms will do it but if one does, others will follow.

Yeah I just saw your post. Thanks. That is good news for me. How does it work if you get a base salary and then a draw from the LLC, assuming combined income is still under $315,000? Is the salary still taxed at the regular rates? May make sense to restructure and reduce base salary to take advantage of the 20% top rate. . .

The draw is theoretically eligible for the deduction but not if it is “guaranteed” or “reasonable compensation”. Also there is a “guard rail” in section 199A(a) to prevent you from using the deduction to get a marginal tax rate that’s much lower than 20 percent (even if your income is <315k)

the draw is just a fixed percentage of annual profit, so I would think it is not considered to be "guaranteed" (I guess they are just going after entities that would convert salary to "draw" or whatever in order to get the lower rate?)

*Edit* ok I see what you're saying though, like I couldn't reduce the base salary by 1/2 and say well i'll just get that amount out of our "profit" every year.

I mean you can always argue the issue with the IRS. At a certain point you are playing the audit lottery.

you've got two reasonable comp arguments going.

1 is the standard S corp john edwards stuff of dividend vs. salary from the S corp (to what extent does your profit represent return on capital investment and to what extent does it represent your labor?)

2 is the newfangled 'no deduction to the extent passthru income represents reasonable compensation' concept

180 for me in spite of poormo income cutoffs:

“The ABA position also prevailed in regards to these provisions in the consensus bill:

• The student loan tax deduction is preserved.

• Some contingency-fee lawyers will still be able to deduct upfront litigation-related expenses. Lawyers within the jurisdiction of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals are permitted to deduct such expenses.”

I believe the income cap is $315k net if you file jointly. I know on XO that qualifies as poor, but it's 98th percentile nationally (https://dqydj.com/household-income-percentile-calculator-2016/). Poaster above said it then phases out until $415k. Probably 90% of solos will qualify for that.

The Tax Foundation states: Create a 20% deduction for pass-through business income. The deduction is limited for households with more than $157,500/$315,000 that earn income from service businesses; these households are also subject to a test based on each business’s W-2 wages.

Anyone know what this W-2 wage test is?

Never mind, I think I found it. Looks like you'll need to ensure your salary is high enough to be double the expected deduction. For those interested:

Partnership and S Corporation TaxationAn individual taxpayer or trust generally may deduct 20% of domestic qualified business income from a partnership, S corporation, or sole proprietorship, capped at the greater of (i) 50% of the taxpayer’s allocable or pro rata share of W-2 wages paid by the partnership, S corporation or sole proprietorship or (ii) the sum of 25% of W-2 wages paid plus a capital component equal to 2.5% of the unadjusted tax basis of the business’s tangible depreciable property.

The full deduction generally does not apply to specified service businesses, except in the case of a taxpayer whose taxable income does not exceed $315,000 for married individuals filing jointly or $157,500 for single individuals (with the benefit of the deduction phased out between $315,000 and $415,000 for married individuals and $157,500 and $207,500 for single individuals).

Not a taxmo, but that's my understanding. Regardless, most solos should elect S corporation status and pay themselves a salary any way, because otherwise you're paying FICA on all your "self employment" income. Throwing away money.

Wages limitation does not apply if you are under the income threshold.

How the New Pass-Through Limits Work in the Tax Plan

The House and Senate blended their provisions on a crucial piece of the new tax break for pass-through businesses that aren't in professional service industries.

The House version was based on a company’s capital investments, giving firms the ability to get more of their income at a 25% rate if they had more capital invested.

The Senate’s version limited the tax break to 50% of wages paid.

The final version combines the two approaches. Now, the 20% deduction is capped at either 50% of wages or 25% of wages plus 2.5% of capital assets, whichever is greater.

Compared to the Senate bill, that’s a benefit for capital-intensive companies that don’t pay a lot of wages or any wages at all.

These limits only apply for businesses whose owners have individual income exceeding $157,500 or joint filer income of $315,000.

Only on XO is $315k HHI considered poor.

$315k is 98th percentile HHI and most business owners claiming $315k HHI are actually making quit a bit more but running large expenses through the company.

Brother, $315k HHI is top 98% nationwide and probably top 5-10% of lawyers.

Most BIGLAWYERS here will never make more than $300k even with bonuses and will then find $200k in-house jobs.

The alt right poors here are a different story.
