Legislature Passes Legislation Enacting Work Around to Federal $10,000 SALT Deduction Limitation, but Governor Baker Sends it Back with Amendment"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>On July 16, 2021, Governor Baker <a href=\"https:\/\/malegislature.gov\/Laws\/SessionLaws\/Acts\/2021\/Chapter24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">approved a $47.6 billion fiscal 2022 budget, but sent back a provision<\/a> the Massachusetts Legislature passed creating a workaround for the federal cap on the state and local tax deduction.<\/p>\n<p>The Massachusetts House and Senate included the workaround in their Fiscal Year 2022 budget (H. 4002) passed on July 9, 2021.\u00a0 Section 39 of the budget would add new Chapter 63D to the Massachusetts General Laws (\u201cTaxation of Pass-Through Entities\u201d).\u00a0 The provision allows S corporations and partnerships to elect to pay an excise tax on qualified income taxable in Massachusetts at a rate of 5% (the Massachusetts individual income tax rate). \u00a0Such an excise tax is fully deductible for federal income tax purposes.\u00a0 The proposed excise tax adds to a partner\u2019s\/shareholder\u2019s current Massachusetts income tax on income from partnerships and S corporations.\u00a0 However, the provision provides individual, trust and estate partners\/ subchapter S shareholders with a refundable credit equal to 90% of the partner\u2019s\/shareholder\u2019s share of the new excise tax.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Baker sent <a href=\"https:\/\/malegislature.gov\/Bills\/192\/H4019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this section<\/a> of the budget back to lawmakers with a recommendation that the provision be amended to allow a credit equal to 100 percent of each partner\u2019s\/shareholder\u2019s share. \u00a0In his amendment letter, he states &#8220;While I strongly support providing this type of benefit to Massachusetts residents who are members of pass-through entities, 100% of the optional excise should be returned to the taxpayer.&#8221; &#8220;Where struggling businesses are still emerging from the pandemic and state revenues are strong, taxpayers should be allowed to reap the full benefit of this policy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Massachusetts\u2019 House has rejected Governor Baker\u2019s amendment to the provision.\u00a0 The legislature now waits for a new session to override Governor Baker\u2019s veto of its original provision.<\/p>\n<p>What would the Massachusetts legislature\u2019s provision mean for an individual, trust or estate taxpayer\u2019s total income tax burden?\u00a0 Let us take the following assumptions:<\/p>\n<table dir=\"ltr\" style=\"height: 177px;\" border=\"1\" width=\"434\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td

an individual\u2019s federal income taxes on allocable partnership or Subchapter S corporation income by $18,500 but increases the taxpayer\u2019s Massachusetts income taxes by $5,000.\u00a0 The net is an overall tax decrease for partners and subchapter S shareholders of $13,500.<\/p>\n<p>The Treasury Department sanctioned such state law workarounds to the federal SALT deduction limitation in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-drop\/n-20-75.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Notice 2020-75<\/a> issued on November 9, 2020.\u00a0 In the Notice, the Treasury clarified that such excise taxes will be treated as \u201cSpecified Income Tax Payments\u201d that are deductible for federal income tax purposes by partnerships and S corporations.\u00a0 The Treasury concluded such excise taxes will not be taken into account in applying the SALT deduction limitation, even if partners or shareholders receive a state tax credit\/refund for such excise taxes.<\/p>\n<p>The Notice cites legislative history in support of its position.\u00a0 It states, when Congress passed legislation limiting the deduction for state and local taxes, Congress provided that \u201ctaxes imposed at the entity level, such as a business tax imposed on pass-through entities, that are reflected in a partner\u2019s or S corporation shareholder\u2019s distributive or pro-rata share of income or loss on a Schedule K-1 (or similar form) will continue to reduce such partner\u2019s or shareholder\u2019s distributive or pro-rata share of income as under present law.\u201d (Notice 2020-75 at 4, citing H.R. Rep. No. 115-466, at 260 n. 172 (2017)).<\/p>\n<p>With the Treasury\u2019s adoption of the above position, many other states have enacted similar workarounds to the Federal SALT deduction limitation for partnerships and subchapter S corporations.\u00a0 Talk with your tax adviser to discuss whether it makes sense for your partnership or Subchapter S corporation to elect the imposition of such state law work arounds.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact the alert author or your Bowditch attorney at 508-791-3511.<\/p>\n<p><em>This update has been prepared for informational purposes only and it is not legal advice.
