The §199A Qualified Business Income (QBI) Deduction remains one of the most impactful — and complex — provisions in the tax code for small business owners and their advisors. Offering up to a 20% deduction on qualified income, QBI planning can significantly reduce tax liability, but phaseouts, specified service trade rules, and wage/property limitations can easily trip up even seasoned professionals.
In this session, Clark Randall, CFP®, MJur will demystify QBI planning, walking you through the rules, examples, and strategies you can immediately apply to client cases. You’ll Learn:
- The mechanics of the §199A QBI deduction and how it fits into holistic tax planning
- Phaseout thresholds, de minimis rules, and key differences between SSTBs and non-SSTBs
- Planning strategies to preserve the deduction for high-income clients (e.g., retirement contributions, wage adjustments, property planning)
- Real-world examples that illustrate how to maximize this valuable deduction across different client scenarios
