Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Twenty percent slice of your business pie
Pass-through income gets this sweet reply
S-corps and partnerships, LLCs too
Sole proprietorships qualify through
But W-2 wages don't make the cut
Employee paychecks keep this door shut

[Chorus]
Q-B-I, twenty percent deduction
Pass it through with tax reduction
Wages blocked, business income flows
Until twenty twenty-five it goes
SSTB beware the income wall
Doctors, lawyers feel the fall

[Verse 2]
Qualified business income has its rules
Domestic operations are the jewels
Investment income doesn't count the same
Rental real estate can play this game
But specified service trades must watch
High earners hit the income notch

[Chorus]
Q-B-I, twenty percent deduction
Pass it through with tax reduction
Wages blocked, business income flows
Until twenty twenty-five it goes
SSTB beware the income wall
Doctors, lawyers feel the fall

[Bridge]
Three-fifteen thousand for joint filers
Single folks get half as buyers
Phase-out starts when you cross that line
SSTB benefits decline
Wage test kicks in, property too
Fifty percent of wages due

[Verse 3]
Aggregation lets you bundle trades
Combine your businesses, higher grades
W-2 wages from each entity
Qualified property's your key
Depreciable assets help you win
When income limits start to pin

[Chorus]
Q-B-I, twenty percent deduction
Pass it through with tax reduction
Wages blocked, business income flows
Until twenty twenty-five it goes
SSTB beware the income wall
Doctors, lawyers feel the fall

[Outro]
Sunset clause waits ahead
Unless Congress acts instead
Twenty percent deduction fades
Plan ahead for future trades
