Limitation on Business Interest Deductions:

B. The limitation is calculated as a percentage of the taxpayers total taxable income

Explanation:

30% (or 50% for years 2019 and 2020, as amended by the CARES Act) of the adjusted taxable income of a business is the limit of business interest expense that is allowed by the IRS.  The excess after this limitation may be carried forward by the tax paying organization to future tax years indefinitely until the interest expense is completely applied.

Following the CARES Act, "the business interest expense deduction limitation does not apply to certain small businesses whose gross receipts are $26 million or less, electing real property trades or businesses, electing farming businesses, and certain regulated public utilities. The $26 million gross receipts threshold, which applies for the 2020 tax year, is adjusted annually for inflation."
