Tax Reform: No specific bill but asked that Congress take a comprehensive approach to tax reform and not enact reform for C corporations at the expense of partnerships, including S corporations and LLCs. We also asked policymakers not to tax partnerships with revenues over certain thresholds as C corporations or to pass legislation that would disadvantage real estate relative to other industries. We also asked that Congress maintain the deductibility of business interest and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit.

Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction, IRC Section 179D & Section 45L, and ARRA, Sec. 1603.
