Answer 1

Answer:

correct option is (a) The lesser of 50% of business wages or 25% of wages plus 2.5% of the unadjusted basis of qualifying property

Explanation:

As we know that when a single taxable income of the single filer is exceed by $157,000 by the $50000 or more, then their QBI must not exceed

so

1. 50% of the taxpayer's share of W-2 wages paid in respect of a qualified trade or occupation
2. 25% of such salary and 2.5% on a volatile basis immediately after acquiring the tangible depreciation asset

Qualified Business Income (QBI) exemption refers to taxable income recognized by a partnership, S corporations, LLC or sole proprietorship. This is below the line deduction that does not deduct your AGI, but it does reduce the amount of taxes.
