Beginning in 2018, interest expense is generally limited to 30 percent of adjusted taxable income. While seemingly a straightforward limitation, there are many complexities inherent in the calculation, especially for pass-through entities. The Treasury Department and IRS have issued the first round of proposed regulations in an attempt to answer many of the difficult questions raised by this limitation.
This webinar covers the basics of the interest limitation as well as the most significant aspects of the proposed regulations.
