Overview of PTE Tax and Its Purpose

The podcast episode discusses the pass-through entity (PTE) tax and its purpose as a workaround to continue deducting state income taxes after the tax cuts and jobs act in 2017 limited the salt deduction to $10,000. PTE tax varies from state to state, with different guidelines, due dates, and credit percentages. Some states offer a 100% credit for PTE tax paid, while others offer a 90% credit. The episode highlights that PTE tax is paid by pass-through entities like S corporations or partnerships, and the importance of understanding the rules and potential benefits or costs based on individual circumstances.
