    The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) was signed into law on December 22, 2017.

    The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act dramatically changed all aspects of income and estate tax planning and ancillary financial and insurance planning. Most articles have focused on explaining the new laws, which is natural as the first step must be knowing what has occurred.

    When the Treasury Department released proposed regulations in early August of this year for Sec. 199A, created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), some of the tax press seemed surprised that banks organized as S-corporations (S-banks) qualified for the 20 percent deduction that Sec. 199A grants certain pass-through businesses.
