Arkansas Tax Planning Tip
Arkansas reduced its top income tax rate to 4.4% and offers a pass-through entity tax election that lets S-Corps and partnerships pay state taxes at the entity level. This can create a federal deduction that bypasses the $10,000 SALT cap. If you’re an S-Corp owner in Arkansas, the PTE election could save you thousands in federal taxes on top of the state rate reduction.
