Since the taxable income is less than $321400 (Lower threshold for married filing joint return); any income from either qualified trade or business or specified trade or business will be eligible for 20% qualified business income deduction. Qualified Business Income deduction is the amount which needs to be deducted to arrive at taxpayer's taxable income.
The Qualified business income for a sole proprietor is the profit or loss from the business as reported on Schedule C of form 1040.
Qualified Business Income= $320,000
20% of Qualified business income= 20% of 320000
$64,000
The correct answer is (c)- $64,000
