The first is the definition of вЂњqualified trade or business.вЂќ IRC В§В 199A provides that a вЂњqualified trade or businessвЂќ means any trade or business other than a specified service business or the trade or business of performing services as an employee.ДЇor these purposes, a вЂњspecified service businessвЂќ means any trade or business in the fields of: There are several key definitions within the IRC В§ 199A framework. Qualified Trade or Business Exclusion for Specified Service Businesses over Income Threshold Thus, the limits fully apply when taxable income is over $415,000 for married individuals filing jointly, and $207,500 for other individuals. For other taxpayers, the phase in occurs over the next $50,000 above the threshold amount. Both amounts are subject to inflation adjustments in future years.ДЇor married individuals filing jointly, these income limitations are phased in on a sliding scale over the next $100,000 of taxable income above the threshold amount. The вЂњthreshold amountвЂќ is $315,000 for married individuals filing jointly and $157,500 for other individuals.

(2) the sum of 25% of the W-2 wages paid with respect to the qualified trade or business, plus 2.5% of the unadjusted basis, immediately after acquisition, of all вЂњqualified propertyвЂќ of the qualified trade or business (the вЂњWage and Capital LimitвЂќ).ДЇor these purposes, вЂњqualified propertyвЂќ means tangible, depreciable property which is held by and available for use in the qualified trade or business at the close of the tax year, which is used at any point during the tax year in the production of QBI, and the depreciable period for which has not ended before the close of the tax year. (1) 50% of the W-2 wages paid with respect to the qualified trade or business (вЂњW-2 Wage LimitвЂќ), or For taxpayers over the вЂњthreshold amountвЂќ (discussion below), this limitation is the greater of: IRC В§ 199A(b)(2) applies a sliding-scale income limitation to determine the amount of QBI subject to the deduction. Limitation Income Thresholds and Phase-In In the case of partnerships and S corporations, the deduction applies at the partner or shareholder level, and each partner or shareholder takes into account his or her allocable share of items of income, deduction and loss from the partnership or S corporation. The deduction is applied to the taxpayerвЂ™s taxable income, not adjusted gross income, and it cannot exceed the amount of the taxpayerвЂ™s taxable income for the tax year. The deductible amount of QBI from each qualified trade or business is subject to certain income limitations contained in IRC В§ 199A(b)(2). IRC В§В 199A provides that a non-corporate taxpayer may, subject to certain adjustments and limitations, deduct 20% of the taxpayerвЂ™s QBI with respect to each qualified trade or business, plus 20% of the aggregate amount of qualified cooperative dividends, qualified real estate investment trust dividends and qualified publicly traded partnership income of the taxpayer for the tax year.

The new Code provision contains complex definitions, requires esoteric calculations, and is accompanied by many traps and pitfalls. The concept may sound simple, but the application is anything but simple. The notion behind the deduction is that it effectively reduces the new top 37% marginal income tax rate for business owners to approximately 29.6% (i.e., 80% of 37%), to put owners of pass-through entities on a more level playing field with owners of C corporations who now have the benefit of the greatly reduced 21% top marginal tax rate under the TCJA. IRC В§В 199A potentially allows individuals, trusts and estates to deduct up to 20% of qualified business income (вЂњQBIвЂќ) received from a pass-through trade or business, such as an S corporation, partnership (including an LLC taxed as a partnership) or sole proprietorship. Unfortunately, unless lawmakers act, it sunsets (like many of the provisions in the TCJA) on DecemberВ 31, 2025. IRC В§ 199A is effective for tax years after December 31, 2017.
