4 steps:

1. One or more trades or businesses?

ALLOCATING QBI ITEMS - PARTNERSHIPS

49

p. 95

• Each partner’s share is determined by the

partnership agreement

• Special allocations must have substantial

economic effect

• If partnership agreement silent, use partner’s

interest in the partnership.

ALLOCATION OF QBI ITEMS – S CORPORATIONSp. 96

• More rigid than partnerships

• Pro-rata share of each qualified item of:

• Income, loss, deduction, credit

• One class of stock

• Allocate based on number of shares owned,

on a daily basis
