Kathleen Pender, a writer for San Francisco Chronicle, did a good summary of how the new Sec. 199A deduction works for real estate investors:

If someone is still learning the new law, might be useful read.

Thanks.
That >$157.5k formula isn't pretty. The tax program will do it but damn.

After talking with Kathleen for the article and then another CPA putting together in-firm training materials, I tried to do a blog post this weekend that really broke down the phase-out calculations:
Sec. 199A Deduction Phase-out Calculations (https://evergreensmallbusiness.com/sec-199a-deduction-phase-calculations/)
If someone needs to know how those work, the post makes it pretty "step-by-step" .

Thanks for posting this. So if I understand correctly, if I had rental property net income of $10,000 I could deduct $10,000*.20=$2000 from my form 1040, after AGI. Is that correct?

Yet another great link SeattleCPA.
Does anyone know when there will be more clarity on weather schedule E income qualifies for the deduction? I'm guessing that the government shutdown will only prolong the delay in answering this question.
I have been contemplating setting up a LLC for my two rental houses to qualify as a pass through entity. As of today I am paralyzed with indecision. I would rather continue filing schedule E but I don't want to miss out on the free money if this is not in fact considered pass through income. As a practical matter, if schedule E income was not pass through income, and a LLC was in place for only half of the year, would I be entitled to only half of the deduction (10%)?

You don't need an LLC to create the pass-thru income. Like income from a Schedule C (sole proprietorship) and Schedule F (farmer or rancher), Schedule E rental income is automatically qualified business income.

Do SMLLC's that are DRE's count as passthroughs for the new passthrough deduction (assuming all other conditions are met)?

Yes. I believe so.
