Education planning for business owners has always been challenging due to the way the financial aid regulations interact with tax laws. Valuing a business for a client, providing multiple years of detailed financial information, and determining how colleges may assess the assets and income generated from a business are among these challenges. This presentation will highlight education planning strategies impacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, SECURE Act, CARES Act, CAA, and American Rescue Plan, and will focus on how business entity choice with the new lower corporate tax rate and the new IRC 199A (QBI) deduction will factor in from both financial aid and tax planning perspectives.
