Section 199A (QBI) Explained

View show details

This episode breaks down one of the most valuable and misunderstood provisions in the tax code: the Section 199A Qualified Business Income deduction. It covers the basic mechanics — up to 20% off qualifying pass-through income — then walks through the layered restrictions that apply above income thresholds, including the SSTB phase-out rules and the W-2 wage and qualified property limitation. Four concrete strategies high-income owners use to preserve eligibility are laid out: optimizing W-2 compensation in S-corps, investing in qualified depreciable property, using retirement plan contributions to pull income below phase-out thresholds, and restructuring entities to isolate non-SSTB revenue streams. The episode closes with an urgency note: Section 199A is currently scheduled to expire after 2025, making proactive planning especially time-sensitive.
