The Bestselling Book on Section 199A Deduction
Section 199A provides owners of pass-through entities with a deduction equal, potentially, to 20% of their business income.
The 20 page law and nearly 300 pages of regulations, however, present small businesses and individual investors with tricky rules and, for high income taxpayers, with very complicated accounting.

And it discusses what taxpayers and their accountants, advisers and attorneys need to do—in some cases immediately—to maximize the tax savings available.
