Later in August 2018, the IRS released\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wcginc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Section199A-ProposedRegs-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proposed Regulations 1.199A<\/a>\u00a0to offer some additional insight to Section 199A. The Treasury Department and the IRS held a public hearing on the proposed regulations on October 16, 2018 and later issued Section 199A final regulations.<\/p>\n<p>This is a\u00a0<strong>quickie highlight<\/strong>\u00a0of the final regulations since we were pressed for time on January 19. However, after tax season we did a Section 199A Final Regulations Deeper Dive in another blog posts. See the buttons on the bottom of this post for several updates and other commentary.<\/p>\n<p>They received 335 comments which can be reviewed in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-drop\/td-reg-107892-18.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treasury Decision 107892-18<\/a>. Fun. All kidding aside, there are some wonderful suggestions. One in particular was about how the new Section 199A deduction is making S Corps attractive all over again, not just from a savings of self-employment taxes, but from a Section 199A savings. As such, a comment requested that guaranteed payments and similar \u201cwage-looking income\u201d be counted as W-2 wages without a W-2. We\u2019ll have to wait and see on that.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, one of the big challenges has been effective dates.

The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/charities-non-profits\/trade-or-business-defined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IRS attempts to add language<\/a>\u00a0to better summarize the definition by stating-<\/p>\n<p>The term trade or business generally includes any activity carried on for the production of income from selling goods or performing services. It is not limited to integrated aggregates of assets, activities, and goodwill that comprise businesses for purposes of certain other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Activities of producing or distributing goods or performing services from which gross income is derived do not lose their identity as trades or businesses merely because they are carried on within a larger framework of other activities that may, or may not, be related to the organization\u2019s exempt purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Here is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/business-activities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another blurb from the IRS<\/a>\u00a0website-<\/p>\n<p>A trade or business is generally an activity carried on for a livelihood or in good faith to make a profit. The facts and circumstances of each case determine whether or not an activity is a trade or business. The regularity of activities and transactions and the production of income are important elements. You do not need to actually make a profit to be in a trade or business as long as you have a profit motive. You do need, however, to make ongoing efforts to further the interests of your business.<\/p>\n<p>Why is everyone all hung on this? Well\u2026 the game of cops and robbers continues, right? New laws\u2026 new schemes\u2026 some legit, some, as we like to say, creative. You can easily see how certain people would try to game the system by creating a trade or business to capture the Section 199A deduction where without the shady trade or business, they would not be entitled to the deduction. One great example is converting W-2 employees to 1099 contractors just to take advantage of Section 199A.<\/p>\n<p>Comments received by the Treasury Department and the IRS wanted a bright-line test, a factor-based test or a safe harbor definition for trade or business.
