Enter your own numbers below - this recalculates instantly using AsasifyTax's real engine. Nothing is saved, and you don't need an account.
For 2025, it's 20% of your qualified business income - your net profit from a sole proprietorship (Schedule C), a farm (Schedule F), a rental (Schedule E), or your share of a partnership or S corporation's income, whichever apply to you.
If your taxable income before this deduction is at or below $197,300 ($394,600 if married filing jointly) for 2025, you use the simpler Form 8995 and the full 20% applies with no further limits. Above that, you use Form 8995-A, and two things start to matter: whether your business is a "specified service trade or business" (law, health, consulting, financial services, and similar - not architecture or engineering), and how much W-2 wages and qualified property your business has. The transition happens gradually over a $50,000 range above the threshold (double that for joint filers).
Line 2: Total Qualified Business Income Or Loss Amount · Line 10: Qualified Business Income Deduction Before Income Limitation Amount
| Situation | Business profit | Taxable income | Form | QBI deduction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A sole proprietor well under the threshold | $60,000 | $55,761 | Form 8995 | $11,152 |
| A non-service business above the threshold (wage-limited) | $150,000 | $447,991 | Form 8995-A | $20,000 |
| A specified service business (SSTB) above the threshold | $150,000 | $447,991 | none - the deduction phased out to $0 | $0 |
