Answer 1

a. $175,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Qualified business income is the income on which sole business owners and partner's tax is deducted. They include only items that are taxable income and is connected with a particular business.

Deduction of up to 20% qualified business income is allowed. Also 20% of qualified real estate investment trust, and qualified publicly traded partnership income.
