SUMMARY:(LITX35/27) Lifecycle Financial Planning: Tax Planning - Qualified Business Income Deduction
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nEven though it has been around several years\, many practitioners fail to take full advantage of the QBI deduction due to its complexity and many nuances.

We will get into the details of what QBI includes (and doesn’t include)\, which entity structures work best for the QBI deduction\, and what to do if we have negative QBI.

SUMMARY:(LITX37/27) Understanding Partnership Taxation - Schedules K-2 & K-3
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nThe Schedule K-2 & K-3 reporting requirements have been challenging for many practitioners.
