Show full summary
- Individual investors who qualify for the 199A deduction could claim a 20% deduction on BDC dividends that are attributable to the BDC's net interest income and properly allocated to a qualified trade or business.
- Electing BDCs that are treated as regulated investment companies could make some interest-based dividend distributions more valuable to shareholders by making those payments 199A-eligible.
- Tax filers and BDCs must identify dividends as "qualified BDC interest dividends" for the deduction. The change would apply to taxable years beginning after Dec. 31, 2026.
