IRC Section 163(j) limits the ability of certain corporations to deduct interest paid or accrued on indebtedness. In general, this limit applies to interest paid or accrued by certain corporations (when no U.S. federal income tax is imposed on the interest income) whose debt-to-equity ratio exceeds 1.5 to 1.0 and when net interest expense exceeds 50 percent of the adjusted taxable income. The 2017 Act removed the debt-to-equity safe harbor, expanded interest deductibility limitations, and generally limited the interest deduction on business interest to (1) business interest income plus (2) 30 percent of the taxpayer’s adjusted taxable income. The CARES Act temporarily increased the 30 percent limitation of adjusted taxable income to 50 percent for taxable years beginning in 2019 and 2020. It also permitted entities to use their 2019 adjusted taxable income for the 2020 taxable year.
