Thanks to the Section 199A deduction\u2014 often called the pass-through deduction\u2014she can deduct up to 20% of that income from her taxable amount, potentially saving her $9,000 in federal taxes, assuming she&#8217;s in the 22% bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This deduction, made permanent under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), benefits pass-through entities like LLCs, S corps, and partnerships, where income &#8220;passes through&#8221; to owners&#8217; personal tax returns. In 2026, for Sarah, eligibility hinges on her business type and income level\u2014under $201,750, with phase-outs above that.
