Many business owners now benefit from the Qualified Business Income Deduction, which was put in place when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law in 2017. 

Qualified Business Income Deduction (QBID)

Because of the TCJA, business owners can now benefit from Section 199A Qualified Business Income Deduction (QBID).  This allows sole proprietors as well as partnerships, S corporations, and some trusts and estates (pass-through entities) the opportunity to deduct up to 20 percent of their qualified business income.  This deduction is not available for C-corporations or for those providing services as an employee.

As with all new tax laws, there are rules and regulations to know and follow.  The QBID has 2 components:

1. Qualified Business Income – this component allows for a deduction of 20% of qualified business income for sole proprietors or through a partnership, S-corporation, trust, or estate.  This component is subject to limitations based on an individual’s taxable income that entails the type of business being conducted, the amount of W-2 wages paid by the qualified business, and the unadjusted basis of qualified property held by the business.
2. Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)/Publicly Traded Partnership (PTP) – This component allows for a 20% deduction of qualified REIT dividends and qualified PTP income.
