2026 PTET & SALT Compliance Checklist
- Adopt a Written Partner/Shareholder PTET Consent Resolution: Keep signed authorization in your corporate or partnership minute book.
- Remit Cash-Basis Vouchers Before December 31, 2026: Under IRS Notice 2020-75, cash-basis entities can deduct 2026 PTET only to the extent paid by December 31, 2026.
- Avoid Overpayment Refunds (IRC § 111): Base your Q4 PTET payment on actual projected 2026 state liability so next year's state refund isn't recaptured as ordinary federal income.
