What is the QBI? How much QBI deduction is?
QBI (Qualified Business Income) is the net amount of qualified income, gain, deduction and losses from a qualified business.
Qualified Income & Gain = $740000 + $10000+$2000
= $752000
Deduction & losses = $405000+ $30000+$8000+$6500+$4000+$5000+$21000+$18000+$7000+$1000
= $591500
QBI = $752000-$591500
= $160500
QBI Deduction is equal to 20% of Devon QBI=160500*20%
= $32100
Note :- QBI does not inckude income not relatable to the business. Also it does not include wages or any guaranteed payments. Hence, salary has not been taken into account.
