IRS Approves SALT Workaround for Pass-Through Entities

Before TCJA, individual taxpayers generally could deduct all state and local taxes (SALT) as itemized deductions. TCJA limited the individual SALT deduction to $10,000 for taxable years 2018 through 2025. Some states have been looking for a workaround to enable their resident taxpayers to avoid the $10,000 deduction limit.
