What a Chicago accountant should already know
Illinois pass-through entity tax election
The PTE election can convert a capped state deduction into a federal one. It has to be elected and paid on schedule to work.
Cook County property assessments
Reassessment cycles and appeal deadlines vary by township. Owners of two-flats and small commercial buildings often leave money on the table.
Trading, futures and mark-to-market
Chicago's derivatives community needs Section 475 elections, wash-sale handling and trader-versus-investor classification done correctly.
Local levies for restaurants and retail
City lease, amusement and bottled water taxes stack on state sales tax. Confirm the firm files these, not just the IL-1120.
