In this episode you will learn: - How to calculate the two separate QBI limitations for high-income taxpayers with non-SSTB businesses. - The specific formula: the QBI deduction is limited to the greater of (a) 50% of W-2 wages or (b) 25% of W-2 wages plus 2.5% of UBIA. - A critical exam trap: always use the Unadjusted Basis Immediately after Acquisition (UBIA), not the depreciated or adjusted basis of property. - The key difference between the limitation for a non-SSTB and the complete disallowance of the QBI deduction for a high-income SSTB owner. - A mental shortcut for remembering that the UBIA part of the formula is designed to benefit capital-intensive businesses.
