Rental Real Estate and the Section 199A Deduction

By Rachel Gillespie, CPA, Principal
ASL Real Estate Group

In December of 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted by Congress, which gave us the most sweeping and dramatic changes to the Internal Revenue Code in more than 30 years.  The Act created the Internal Revenue Code Section 199A deduction which has the potential to help taxpayers reduce their liabilities with a 20% deduction against their “qualified business income”.  Section 199A provides individual taxpayers and certain trusts and estates a deduction for qualified business income from a partnership, limited liability company, S-corporation, sole proprietorship, trust or estate.  The deduction applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026.

Beware of the New Tax Law’s Impact on Trust and Estate Income

By Christine Collins Madrid, CPA, Tax Director

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), signed into law in December 2017, made important modifications to the income taxation of trusts and estates for 2018 and beyond. Trust and estate income tax rates and brackets changed, along with deductibility of some estate and trust administrative expenses. Also, a new qualified business income deduction is available, under certain circumstances, that could be as much as 20% of qualified business income. (more…)

ASC 842 - Leases, the OTHER New ASC

By Patrick Ngai, CPA, Audit Manager
ASL Technology Group

When ASC 842 – Leases (“ASC 842”) was first published in 2016, the effective date for non-public entities was scheduled for 2020.  The date seemed so far away that most people took the, “we will cross that bridge when we come to it” approach.  To be fair, most people were too concerned about the new revenue recognition standard (ASC 606) to worry about anything else.  (more…)
