description We consider the question of how pass-through businesses respond to differentials in tax treatment across sources of income. In particular, we use federal tax return data from partnerships and S corporations and a synthetic control methodology (SCM) to analyze the 2012 income tax reforms in Kansas to see how pass-through businesses respond to preferential rates on pass-through business income. We find no effect on economic activity proxies such as gross receipts, capital investment, or employment. We do find that partnerships, but not S corporations, reduced the amount of guaranteed payments to partners when the preferential rate on such payments was repealed.
