PRINTING United Alliance Urges Congress to Make Tax Relief for Small Businesses Permanent

The introduction of Section 199A under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 provided a pivotal tax benefit to small businesses structured as pass-through entities. By allowing these businesses to deduct up to 20% of their qualified business income (QBI) from individual tax bills, the deduction has fostered economic growth and supported businesses like S-corporations, LLCs, sole proprietorships, and partnerships. However, with the provision set to expire on December 31, 2025, small businesses are bracing for a significant tax hike that threatens their stability and growth.

Congress Avoids a Government Shutdown

To avoid a government shutdown, Congress passed on September 25, 2024, and President Biden signed into law, a continuing resolution (CR, H.R. 9747) that will extend funding for the federal government until December 20, 2024. The passage of the CR avoided a government shutdown right before the new fiscal year (FY) began on October 1, 2024. With a CR enacted, members of Congress left their offices on Capitol Hill for a campaigning recess in the run-up to the November 5, 2024 General Election. Congress will return on November 12, 2024, and will have until December 20, 2024 to negotiate bipartisan spending agreements on all 12 FY 2025 appropriations.
