The IRS estimates 10 million taxpayers will be affected by this new 20% deduction under section 199A. On August 8, 2018 the IRS released proposed regulations [REG 107892-18] covering the 20% deduction. These regulations answer many questions not addressed in the statute and are more than 180 pages long.
