So, it’s that time of year.

The Ides of March are upon us
Monday will be the Ides of March. No, I am not referring to the Julius Caesar masterpiece by Shakespeare (or the history to which it refers). I refer to the due date for business tax returns.
This Workaround could kill the SALT limitation
The IRS has thrown in the towel.
But, I’m guessing that’s only because the 2020 elections have removed the hand on the scales of justice. After all, the TCJA (Tax Cut and Jobs Act [sic]) of 2017 was clearly formulated to poison the atmosphere in the Blue States. Because they provided services and better educational opportunities than do the Red States, which is why their state tax bills are higher.

Today, we wrap up our discussion of the changed IRS code, the changes made by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (sic). The series started last Wednesday or Thursday, where we discussed personal tax provisions of the law. On Monday, we started discussing the business tax provisions. And, now some 6000 words later, we are completing the changes in the bill.

HR-1, Biz 1
We’ve seen what could be happening with our personal taxes. (Part 1 here; part 2 here. And, the preamble.) Now, let’s see what changes the House plans for US business taxation.
Uh-Oh.
No. I am not worried about the “unlucky” number 13 that is today’s secular date. (It is also Shushan Purim, 15 Adar.) I’m worried that many of you have forgotten that the rules have changed.
