Evan, a single individual, operates a service business that earned $110,000 in 2018. The business has no tangible property and paid no W-2 wages. Compute Evan's QBI deduction, assuming his overall taxable income before QBI is $125,000. Compute Evan's QBI deduction, assuming his overall taxable income before QBI is $165,000.

a $22000

b $18700

Explanation:

a) Compute Evan's QBI deduction, assuming his overall taxable income before QBI is $125,000.

For single individual , if the taxable income is less than $157500, therefore the deduction will be lesser of:

20% of the taxable income

= 125000 × 20%

=

= $25000

20% of QBI will be : ( $110000  × 20% )

=

= $22000

b)

For singe individual, if the taxable  income is greater than $157500 but less than 207500; then the deduction will be lesser with 50% of the wages.

50% of wages   = 0

20% of the QBI is:

=       (where 20% = 0.2 for easy computation)

= 18700

20% of the taxable income

= (165000 × 20%)

=33000

the investment was $14,174.196

explanation:

a lump sum means that the father of the example made one deposit and leave it be.

we need to know the value of a capital that generated at 4.05% per year during 28 years the sum of $48,613.24

now clearing the formula to solve for capital we got:

and we reach the answer investment = $14,174.20
