For Qualified Business Income Deductions - Section 199A
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed on December 22, 2017 contains provision for a new qualified business income (QBI) deduction known as Section 199A deduction. This provision was included as a deduction for taxpayers that own an interest in a pass-through entity such as a sole proprietorship, partnership, S corporation or limited liability company.
Calculating the qualified business income deduction can be confusing and complicated. There are special rules for certain types of trades or businesses and in some cases the income from the trade or business is subject to a phase out percentage and / or adjustment.
