IMPLICATIONS FOR PARTNERSHIPS, S CORPORATIONS, AND SOLE PROPRIETORSHIPS
President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), H.R. 1, into law on December 22, 2017. The law was passed by Congress two days earlier, on December 20, 2017. In general, the effective date of the TCJA is January 1, 2017. Many of the provisions of the TCJA will sunset on January 1, 2027, although some provisions are permanent. While the conference committee resolved the differences between the House and Senate bills— and there were indeed many differences—the Conference Committee selected the final parts of the bill and sent it back or passage.
