In this episode you will learn: - The QBI deduction offers up to a 20% deduction on income from pass-through entities like sole proprietorships, S-corps, and partnerships. - For 2024, the deduction is simplest for taxpayers with taxable income below $191,950 (Single) or $383,900 (Married Filing Jointly). - Above these income thresholds, the deduction for Specified Service Trades or Businesses (SSTBs) like law and accounting is phased out and eventually eliminated. - For non-SSTBs above the income thresholds, the deduction is limited by a formula based on W-2 wages and the unadjusted basis of business property. - A final overall limit applies: the QBI deduction cannot exceed 20% of taxable income minus net capital gains, a common exam trap.
