The IRS just published final guidance on one of the new provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is the 20% pass-through deduction. In simple terms, individual business owners may claim a deduction equal to 20% of their qualified business income. However, limitations are in place that that will limit or eliminate the deduction for certain high-income earners.
