In 2018, the business pays $100,000 in W-2 wages, holds $150,000 of qualified property, and reports $150,000 in net income (all of which is qualified business income). Susan has no other items of income or loss and will take the standard deduction.

What is Susan's QBI deduction?

QBI means Qualified Business Deduction

$50,000.

Because NI(National Insurance) is over the limit. It is then the lesser of:

1. QBI x 20% ($150,000x.2= 30,000)

2. Modified Income x 20% (138,000x.2= 27,600)

3. greater of: W-2 x 50% (100,000x.5= 50,000) or W-2 x 25% plus 2.5% x unadjusted basis of qualified property [(100,000x.25) + (150,000x.025)= 28,750]
