From the National Association of Manufacturers: Congress continues to negotiate the reconciliation bill and members have been floating new taxes to help pay for the package. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR) has released one set of proposals that would change pass-through tax policy to raise an estimated $172 billion over 10 years.

The proposals could create challenges:

  • Discouraging partnership formation
  • Confusion for existing partnerships
  • Barring legitimate transactions

The current structure of pass-through partnership law offers manufacturers a critical way to start and maintain a business. Altering the tax rules for pass-throughs could change that calculation. Read more about it here.
