What form is used for the 199A deduction?

It’s also known as the Section 199A deduction, the Qualified Business Income Deduction lets business owners deduct up to a whopping 20% of their share of qualified business income. Some of the most typical company formations, such as partnerships, corporations, and LLCs, are covered by this new tax law.

Forms 1040 and 1040A are the two options for claiming the deduction. Only those taxpayers who meet the requirements can use Form 8995.

Who can take the pass-through deduction?

Remember that pass-through income refers to any business revenue that you report on your personal tax return, rather than on a firm’s tax return, and thus is not taxed by the business. Business owners who have taxable income of less than $164,900 for single filers or $329,800 for married couples filing jointly can take advantage of the pass-through deduction. However, there are laws and restrictions attached to it.

It’s possible that some of these restrictions won’t apply to you if you use the simplified form.

What is Form 8995?

If you use the simplified form to claim the pass-through deduction, it will save you a lot of time and effort. The extended form, 8995-A, comprises four parts plus four extra schedules, which are used to compute the business’s eligible business income, potential deduction phaseouts, and the resulting deduction.

Form 8995 is a relatively simple document. A single page with 17 lines is all it contains. Any taxpayer that meets the above-mentioned income criteria and does not belong to an agricultural or horticultural cooperative can use this streamlined version of the deduction. This difficult form is required for those who make more than the threshold before using the qualifying business income deduction and/or who are members of a co-operative.

According to Form 1040, the qualified business income deduction (line 15) is available to married taxpayers with taxable earnings of up to $300,000 prior to the qualified business income deduction. You can claim the pass-through deduction on Form 8995 since your income falls below the threshold. It would be necessary to use an additional form 8995-A if your taxable income before the eligible business income deduction totaled more than $350,000.

Lines 1-4: Qualified business income

Line 1 of the form has lines to list up to five firms and provide each company’s Taxpayer Identification Number and qualifying business revenue (or loss). Fill out the rest of the form by entering all of your eligible business revenue and losses from the previous year and multiplying everything by 20 percent on lines 2 through 5.

Lines 6-10: REIT dividends and PTP income

That income can also be utilized to compute your pass-through deduction in the event that you earned dividends from a real estate investment trust (REIT) or from a publicly traded partnership (PTP). Enter your current year’s income from these investments, as well as any carryovers from the previous year, on lines 6 through 9 to get 20%.

Lines 11-15: Income limitation

If your combined taxable income in 2021 is less than $164,900 ($329,800 for joint filers), your pass-through deduction is limited to the lower of the following amounts:

Your taxable income, net capital gains (often the sum of lines 3a and 7 on your Form 1040), net capital gains subtracted from your eligible business income, and the result multiplied by 0.2 to arrive at 20%, are all asked for on lines 11 to 14. Line 10 or Line 14, whichever is less, is where you input the amount. This is a deduction you can claim as a pass-through.

Lines 16-17: Loss carryforwards

You have a qualified business loss if your net qualified business income is in the negative. In the current year, you cannot deduct the loss from your taxable income, but you can carry it over to the following year. Your net loss will be calculated on lines 16 and 17.

When claiming the pass-through deduction, you don’t have to know all of the regulations and limits or worry about entering the correct figures on correct forms.

What makes a qualified dividend?

To distinguish qualified dividends (as opposed to regular dividends) from those that are not, the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 established a new category.

This means that in order to qualify for the qualifying dividend rate, a payee must have held the shares for a sufficient amount of time.
