Answer 1

Meghann carlson QBI deduction is = $548,623

Solution:

The qualifying business income exclusion (QBI) referred to as Section 199A requires operators to receive up to 20 percent of their eligible business earnings for a tax deduction. It was implemented in the context of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act 2017.

Since gross deduction for QBI deduction is set at 20% of lower of QBI ($129,100 ) or Taxable income($103,280)

So the lower is taxable income ,

i.e $103,280 × 20% ( 103,280 × 20÷ 100)

= 20,656 ( 206.56 )

= $548,623
