CEO Corner

Dear Hannah,

As you may be aware, on September 30, 2021, Massachusetts joined several other states in adopting an elective pass-through entity (PTE) excise in response to the $10,000 cap on the federal state and local tax (SALT) deduction. Under the new legislation, for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, entities taxed as S corporations and partnerships, and certain trusts, may elect to annually be subject to the PTE excise at a 5% rate. Only an eligible PTE can make an election to pay the PTE excise, and the law will expire if the federal SALT deduction limitation expires or is repealed.

MassCPAs will offer trainings on this new legislation and its impact on our members, and your clients and organizations. Details will be announced soon, so stay tuned!

Lastly, the deadline apply for reimbursement for our Emerging Leaders Virtual Summit is Monday, November 22. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to strengthen your leadership skills and help your firm/organization grow – and save up to 100% on the cost! Just follow these two steps:
  1. Register for the Emerging Leaders Virtual Summit
  2. Apply for reimbursement through the state’s Workforce Training Express Fund
 
It’s that simple! You do not need to be a CPA to qualify, so take advantage of this opportunity to save on your training costs. For questions, contact Julia Ekelund

On behalf of MassCPAs, I wish you all a joyful Thanksgiving. We are so thankful for our members!
