The Bestselling Book on Section 199A Deduction
Section 199A provides owners of pass-through entities with a deduction equal, potentially, to 20% of their business income.
The law, however, presents small businesses and individual investors with some tricky-to-manage rules and, for high income taxpayers, with more complicated accounting.
Hence, this book for tax accountants, financial advisers and business attorneys… It covers in detail how the new deduction works–including updates for the official IRS guidance provided through the fall of 2019. And it discusses what taxpayers and their accountants, advisers and attorneys need to do—in some cases immediately—to maximize the tax savings available.
Already, thousands of CPA firms have used this resource to learn the law and begin helping their business clients.

- Chapter 1 – The Section 199A Deduction in a Nutshell: A practitioner’s overview of the deduction to understand the big picture and begin thinking in broad brush strokes about how the deduction works for small businesses, real estate investors, and investors in REITs and qualified publicly traded partnerships.
- Chapter 2 – What Counts as Qualified Business Income: Detailed discussions of exactly what types of business income taxpayers can shelter with the Section 199A deduction, with specific discussions of the rules that apply to different types of business owners and investors: sole proprietorships, partnerships, S corporations, trusts and estates, and then investors in REITs and qualified publicly traded partnership. Also, coverage of how qualified business income accounting works for Section 1031 exchanges, Section 1031 involuntary transfers and for Section 351 incorporations and Section 721 partnership formations.

- Chapter 4 – Accounting for W-2 Wages and Depreciable Property: Every pass-through entity (so every partnership and S corporation) needs to provide detailed accounting for a business’s wages and depreciable property because some taxpayers need this information in order to calculate their Section 199A deduction. Chapter 4 walks the reader through this burdensome area of the new law.
