    • This plan has a side-by-side comparison of the client data with and without the TCJA: the 2018 client data with the tax liability calculated under the 2017 law displays in the 1st column, and the tax liability calculated using the provisions of the TCJA displays in the 2nd column.
    note
    • You can edit the plan data after creating the TCJA Comparison Plan. For example, enter the amount of income or loss for the qualified business income deduction for applicable business activities on the
      Activities
      Data Entry
      Qualified Busn Inc tab
      .
    • The TCJA Comparison Plan includes a 3rd column that displays the difference between the 1st 2 columns for each row in the plan. Select
      View
      Difference Analysis
       to exclude the Difference Analysis column from the plan.
    • When a TCJA Comparison Plan is open, certain Planner CS menu commands are unavailable. Examples include the
      MFS Split
       utility and adding or deleting years or alternatives.
