Lunch & Learn: Understanding the New 2- Percent Pass-Through Deduction (Section 199A)
Presented by: Tanya Malaney, Wipfli
Tuesday, June 26, Noon - 1 p.m.
Eau Claire Chamber of Commerce
PESI Conference Room
Cost to Attend: $20 Chamber members; $40 non-Chamber members (includes lunch)
Sponsored by:
Aging & Disability Resource Center of Eau Claire County
HSHS Sacred Heart & St. Joseph's hospitals
PESI, Inc.
Weld Riley, S.C.
The objective of this Lunch & Learn session will be to answer many of the common questions around how the 20 percent deduction for pass-through entity owners (199A) will work. We will review the fundamental requirements to claim the 199A deduction as well what constitutes qualified business income (QBI). Additionally, we will discuss the types of businesses that qualify for the deduction and the limitations that are imposed.
We will use various examples to demonstrate the applicability to different types of businesses, income levels, etc. Discussion topics will include unresolved issues and areas in which additional guidance is still needed.
Group Project Ideas Needed
The Chamber is requesting service projects for both our adult and Youth Leadership Eau Claire programs. Are you involved with a non-profit organization and have a project that you need help with? Submit a proposal!
What kind of projects?
Each year, we divide our LEC and YLEC classes into teams of 6-9 people to work on community service projects.
For the youth program, the projects that work the best are projects the teenagers can feel passionate about, work together as a team and accomplish something positive for the community. In the past, groups have painted murals, created programming events for children, cleaned up parks, etc.
For the adult program, we ask for project ideas that are more in-depth than simple volunteer tasks. In the past, groups have designed signage for Beaver Creek Reserve, planned large events like the Veterans event recently held at Carson Park and created volunteer manuals and databases.
What doesn't work?
NO fund raising projects of any kind will be accepted. This includes asking the group to plan an event that is intended as a fund raiser. Also, the projects may not be political.
Deadlines
YLEC - July 13
Proposals for the YOUTH program are due by Friday, July 13. More information and a proposal form are available here.
LEC - August 3
Proposals for the ADULT program are due by Friday, August 3. More information and a proposal form are available here.
A list of all past group projects is available here.
If you have any questions, please contact Becky Seelen (715-858-0615).
