Answer:

a.    QBI Deduction = $9,800

      Tax liability = $4,510

Explanation:

a. The BI deduction in 2019 was 20% of the qualified business income in excess of the standard deduction:

QBI deduction = (61,200 - 12,200) * 20%

= $9,800

We then use this to find the taxable income:

= Qualified business income - standard deduction - QBI deduction

= 61,200 - 12,200 - 9,800

= $39,200

Tax liability for a single person in 2019 as shown by the attached file is:

= 970 + 12% * (39,200 - 9,700)

= 970 + 3,540

= $4,510

b. Form not attached but the main item should be the taxable income which is calculated above.
