Clculating Qualified Business Income Deduction Questions – Question Description
I’m working on a business question and need guidance to help me learn.
1. Thad, a single taxpayer, has taxable income before the QBI deduction of $190,700. Thad, a CPA, operates an accounting practice as a single member LLC (which he reports as a sole proprietorship). During 2019, his proprietorship generates qualified business income of $150,000, W–2 wages of $125,000, and $10,000 of qualified property. What is Thad’s qualified business income deduction?
2. Jason and Paula are married. They file a joint return for 2019 on which they report taxable income before the QBI deduction of $200,000. Jason operates a sole proprietorship, and Paula is a partner in the PQRS Partnership. Both are a qualified trade or business, and neither is a “specified services” business. Jason’s sole proprietorship generates $150,000 of qualified business income and W–2 wages of $45,000 and has qualified property of $50,000. Paula’s partnership reports a loss for the year, and her allocable share of the loss is $40,000. The partnership reports no W–2 wages, and Paula’s share of the partnership’s qualified property is $20,000. What is their QBI deduction for the year?
