H.R.1, which is now the law of the land, permanently extends the 20 percent deduction for qualifying noncorporate business income (QBI).
The end result came after a rollercoaster of a journey through the legislative process. The House version increased the deduction to 23 percent and added restrictions on eligibility for the deduction. The Senate version dropped the deduction back to 20 percent and ultimately dropped new restrictions on eligibility for the deduction.
