Exercise 15-17 (Algorithmic) (LO. 3, 4)

Thad, a single taxpayer, reports taxable income before the QBI deduction of $171,500. Thad, a CPA, operates an accounting practice as a single member LLC (which he reports as a sole proprietorship). During the tax year, his proprietorship generates qualified business income of $137,200 after deducting self-employment taxes, W2 wages of $102,900, and $8,800 of qualified property.

Assume the QBI amount is net of the self-employment tax deduction. If required, round any division to two decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar.

What is Thad's QBI deduction?
