CALIFORNIA

California’s Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed Assembly Bill 150 (“AB150”), which created a workaround for the current $10,000 limitation on the deduction for state and local taxes paid for individuals established by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). AB150 creates an elective tax that allows the taxes on pass-through income to be paid at the entity level. This means owners will be able to bypass the cap’s limitation that could otherwise be applicable.

MARYLAND

Maryland Senate Bill 787 was enacted May 30, 2021, requiring the Maryland Comptroller to provide specific guidance and mechanics associated with pass-through entities (PTEs) electing to pay Maryland income tax on behalf of all owners, including state residents. The law specifically defines a “pass-through entity’s taxable income” to be the entity’s income calculated under the Internal Revenue Code without regard to any deductions for state income taxes deducted for federal income tax purposes. Consequently, any state income tax deducted from the PTE’s federal taxable income, including Maryland, would need to be added back before applying apportionment in calculating the amount of state income tax due at the PTE level.

NEW JERSEY

A recently signed New Jersey law gives businesses an election to pay an entity-level tax on income rather than have each partner, member, or shareholder of the business pay their tax individually. The elective entity-level tax is intended to be a workaround to the $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions for federal income tax purposes as enacted in 2018. This New Jersey legislation is similar to those passed in other states, including Connecticut, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin, in order to provide relief to taxpayers affected by the cap on state income tax deductions. It also provides an offsetting refundable income tax credit for members who earn income from a pass-through entity.

NEW YORK

When the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was enacted, it created, for the 2018 through 2025 tax years, an itemized deduction “cap,” limiting to $10,000 the amount of state and local taxes an individual could deduct each year. In response to this limitation and to protect their resident individuals from an increase in federal income taxes potentially arising from this limitation, many states considered and/or enacted a state-level income tax on pass-through entities (often referred to as a pass-through entity (PTE) tax). Historically, pass-through entities were not subject to an income tax – their owners were taxed.  Subjecting the pass-through entity to tax lowers the income flowing from the pass-through entity to its owners, lowering such owner’s federal income tax.

RISKS

Since the pass-through entity tax is an elective tax in most states, the need for conversations around the pros and cons of making an election lies squarely on the shoulders of the members of each pass-through entity.

 

COMPLEXITIES

Though there could be significant tax savings for members, pass-through entities, especially those with complex structures and significant tax filings in multiple states, should evaluate with both their members and trusted tax advisors whether making an election is beneficial.
