Big Win for REALTORS®
|
The IRS released proposed regulations on the new 20 percent business income deduction for pass through businesses, this week.
The deduction was part of the big tax reform law Congress passed at the end of last year and it was a huge win for REALTORS®.
But it was unclear who would be eligible for the deduction.
Now that proposed regulations are out, it's clear the
new deduction will be available to a wide range of real estate professionals.
