Andersen Managing Directors Andrew Liu and Randy Pedersoli are featured speakers at the TEI Silicon Valley 2025 Annual Financial Reporting Seminar on November 13, 2025 at the Delta Marriott in Santa Clara, California. Andrew and Randy will explore the state tax issues lurking beneath the surface of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), and the income tax accounting implications.

Publicly traded corporations are limited to a $1 million deduction for covered employees. Originally established in 1993, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 made significant changes to the $1 million compensation deduction limit for publicly traded corporations, including eliminating the performance-based exception. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act adds an entity aggregation rule for tax years beginning after 2025. Legislation in 2021 expanded the definition of a covered employee to take effect in tax years beginning after 2026.
