Act Now: Contact Congress to preserve PTET SALT deduction

The Senate is considering a sweeping bill that will unfairly increase taxes for local accountants, pharmacists, dentists, and others — but retain deductions for large corporations. The legislative package, known as the “Big Beautiful Bill,” would eliminate state and local taxes (SALT) for pass-through entities (PTEs). Since the majority of U.S. businesses are structured as PTEs, the bill will have massive implications for the Louisiana economy and regional accounting firms. By June 13, call or email our Senators and urge them to preserve the existing PTET SALT deductions for all businesses.

• House Version of One Big Beautiful Bill Act PTET SALT deduction: Fact or Fiction?

Sample Language to call or email our Senators:

I urge you to oppose provisions included in the reconciliation legislation that unfairly targets the ability of service businesses structured as pass-through entities to deduct their state and local taxes (SALT) from their federal income while providing no such limit to other businesses. This legislation effectively discriminates against particular pass-through businesses by indirectly raising taxes on those entities that are considered the backbone of the American economy. These provisions greatly widen the disparity in treatment between pass-through entities and other kinds of businesses, and I strongly urge you to oppose these provisions of the bill.
