Qualified Publicly Traded Partnership (PTP) income.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answers are letters "C" and "D": Jane's Schedule C net profit;  Qualified Publicly Traded Partnership (PTP) income.

Explanation:

The Qualified Business Income Deduction or QBI allows up to 20% of deductions for people who file small businesses taxes in personal statements.  The rule mainly applies to all those activities developed in a sole proprietorship. Capital gains, losses, dividends, and interest are not eligible for this type of deductions. A schedule C (form 1040) or a qualified Publicly Traded Partnership (PTP) income can be subject to this deduction.
