PROBLEMS 1. Andy is an electrician who generates $140,000 in gross income from his sole proprietorship. He incurs $20,000 of expenses in connection with his business. Additionally, Andy earns $2,000 in interest and $3,000 of dividend income during the year from outside investments. Assume Andy is single, claims a standard deduction of $12,000, and has no other tax items for the year. (a) Does Andy qualify to take the § 199A deduction and, if so, determine the amount of his deduction. (b) What result if Andy does not operate a sole proprietorship, but instead earns $120,000 of compensation income by performing electrical services as an employee of a general contracting company. (c) Assume the same facts as in (a), above, except that, instead of operating a sole proprietorship, Andy is a 50% owner of an LLC that provides electrical services. The LLC generates $280,000 of revenue and incurs $40,000 of deductible expenses, and allocates all of its profits and losses equally between the two owners.
