Overview
Even though it has been around several years, many practitioners fail to take full advantage of the QBI deduction due to its complexity and many nuances. In this course, we will discuss how to maximize the QBI deduction. We will get into the details of what QBI includes (and doesn’t include), which entity structures work best for the QBI deduction, and what to do if we have negative QBI. While the QBI deduction is only one deduction on the tax return, for small business owners, it may be the largest and most important deduction that they can take!
