There have been recent significant state tax changes related to Passthrough Entity Taxes (PTETs).With these changes impacting taxpayers, Straight Talk CPAs is dedicated to providing clear and comprehensive guidance to ensure clients maximize their tax benefits and compliance.


The recent introduction of PTETs has been in response to the $10,000 cap on the federal deduction for state and local taxes, which was implemented by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017. These PTETs are designed to help taxpayers in states with high taxes by providing an alternative way to handle state and local tax deductions.


"Our team at Straight Talk CPAs is always committed to staying ahead of the curve in tax regulations and changes," said Salim Omar, Founder of Straight Talk CPAs. "We understand the complexities of the new PTET laws and the potential benefits they offer to our clients. Our goal is to make sure our clients are well-informed and in the best possible position to optimize their tax planning strategies."


The seasoned professionals at Straight Talk CPAs have been closely monitoring the developments surrounding PTETs since their introduction and have actively participated in discussions with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' State and Local Tax Technical Resource Panel (SALT TRP). By leveraging their expertise and the resources provided by the AICPA SALT TRP, Straight Talk CPAs can offer clients tailored solutions for their specific tax situations.


Among the services offered by Straight Talk CPAs to clients navigating PTETs are:

  1. Comprehensive PTET Guidance: Understanding the PTET laws in each relevant state and assessing their impact on clients' businesses or investments.
  2. Retroactive PTET Analysis: Evaluating the retroactive PTETs to identify any potential tax planning opportunities for prior tax years.
  3. PTET Compliance and Reporting: Assisting clients in meeting their PTET compliance obligations and ensuring accurate reporting.
  4. Tax Optimization Strategies: Developing personalized tax planning strategies to optimize the benefits of PTETs and other applicable deductions.
  5. Ongoing Support: Providing continuous support and up-to-date information on PTET laws and regulations as they evolve.


"Our commitment to our clients goes beyond crunching numbers. We strive to be trusted advisors who proactively identify opportunities to minimize taxes and maximize savings," added Salim Omar. "With the introduction of PTETs, it is crucial for taxpayers to have a strategic partner like Straight Talk CPAs to guide them through these complex changes."


For clients seeking expert guidance on PTETs and other tax matters, Straight Talk CPAs invites them to schedule a consultation by calling (732) 566-3660. The firm is ready to help individuals and businesses adapt to the new tax landscape and secure their financial future.
