ABC Calls for Section 199A Permanence for Small Businesses

June 23, 2021

On June 22, ABC joined more than 100 trade associations to support the Main Street Tax Certainty Act (H.R. 1381/S. 480) and to oppose potential legislation from Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) that would weaken the Section 199A pass-through deduction. The Main Street Tax Certainty Act would make permanent the current 20% deduction for small and family-owned businesses, provided through Section 199A of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. However, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) plans to propose changes to the business deduction. While still being drafted, the bill is reported to take aim at phasing out the deduction for individuals making above $400,000 in annual business income and eliminating it completely for those making over $500,000.

The letter released on June 22 notes that rolling back or otherwise limiting the deduction would have a severely detrimental effect on the 95% of American businesses organized as pass-throughs and limit the ability of these businesses to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
