Sam and Jill Jackson are married filing a joint return. Sam and Jill are involved in several businesses and have contacted you inquiring about the Section 199A qualified business income (QBI) deduction. They have provided information for their Year 1 business income in the exhibit below.

Sam and Jill do not elect to aggregate any of their qualifying businesses. Their only other income in Year 1 is Jill's salary of $138,000 from her full-time job as an analyst. They will not be itemizing deductions in Year 1 and will use the married filing jointly (MFJ) standard deduction of $24,800.

1. Using the information in the exhibits, calculate the amount of Sam and Jill's taxable income before the QBI deduction and enter the amounts in the spreadsheet that corresponds to the data below.
2. For each business, identify whether the business is a qualified trade or business (QTB), a specified service trade or business (SSTB), or neither a QTB nor an SSTB in Column A on the spreadsheet.
3. Calculate the qualified business income (QBI) deduction for each business, the total Section 199A QBI deduction, and enter the amounts in the spreadsheet. For purposes of this task, ignore any deduction for one-half of self-employment tax. Use positive whole numbers, and if the amount of the deduction is zero, enter a zero. Only fill in numbers in the blue squares.
