Answer:
B) $148000
Explanation:
The QBI deduction was created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and it allows non corporate taxpayers to deduct
- 20% of their qualified business income
- 20% of qualified real estate investment trust dividends
- 20% of qualified publicly traded partnership income
The law sets a threshold and three separate groups for QBI deductions, and for 2019 group III's threshold was total taxable income greater than $210,700 for single taxpayers ($421,400 for joint filers).
Since Ellie's QBI exceeds the current threshold, then she must also calculate the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit: the greater of
- 50% of W-2 wages of the business
- 25% of W-2 wages + 2.5% of the unadjusted basis of qualified property
Finally, Ellie must deduct the lesser of 20% QBI or wage and capital limitations:
- 20% of QBI = $740,000 x 20% = $148,000
- 50% of W-2 wages = $300,000 x 50% = $150,000
