THE LOGISTICS: PAYING THE SALT WORKAROUND TAX 

We previously sent you information about the details of the SALT cap work around, or Pass-Through Entity (PTET) on November 8, 2021. Here is a brief recap and a link to the full article:

• Only available to S Corporations and Partnerships whose owners consist solely of individuals, fiduciaries, trusts, estates or entities taxable as corporations.
• The tax rate will be 9.3% of the consenting partner’s pro rata share of income.
• Unused credits can be carried forward for 5 years.
• The election is annual, irrevocable, & can only be made on original timely filed returns.

The Franchise Tax Board has now published the PTE Elective Tax Payment Voucher (FTB 3893)  on November 1, 2021. The voucher may be used by S corporations and partnerships to make a PTE elective tax payment by printing the voucher from FTB’s website and mailing it to them.(Click here for instruction)
