Answer:
Henry's QBI is $9,760
Tax liability = $4,510
Explanation:
The question is to determine Henry's QBI deductions as well as his Federal Income Tax Liability
First we determine his MTI = His net income - His standard deduction
= $61,200 - $12,200
= $49,000
QBI(Qualified Busines Income) Deduction
This will represent the lesser of the following
First = 20% of his Net Income = 0.2 x $61,200 = $12,240
Second= 20% of his MTI = 0.2 x $48,800= $9,800
Henry's QBI is $9,800
Tax Liability Computation
Based on the tax rate for individuals in 2019,
His income tax is as follows
= $970 + (12% x ($49,000-$9,800)- $9,700)
= $970 + $3,540
= $4,510
