Businesses have many tax deductions and credits to take advantage of when they file their tax returns. The Qualified Business Income deduction was created to allow for the fair treatment of businesses not structured as a Subchapter C Corporation when the corporate income tax rate was reduced to 21% in 2018. This means that Schedule C filers, Subchapter S filers, and Partnerships could qualify for a 20% reduction of their taxable income, which reduces their taxes.

To navigate this decision, aspiring entrepreneurs should consider a series of questions to determine which business model aligns best with their personal interests, skills, education, and capital available.
