• Small Business Investor Tax Parity Act of 2020 (House of Representatives Bill 6458): This bill, introduced April 7, proposes to amend section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow the deduction under that section to apply to qualified Business Development Center interest dividends in the same manner as qualified Real Estate Investment Trust dividends.
