Section 199A SSTB Limitation: Why High-Earning Doctors, Lawyers, and Consultants Lose the 20% QBI Deduction

Section 199A's 20% QBI deduction phases out entirely for high-income doctors, lawyers, consultants, and other specified service trades or businesses (SSTBs) — costing a married surgeon at $700,000 of K-1 income roughly $52,000 a year. This guide covers the 2026 income thresholds (~$394,600 MFJ phase-in, ~$544,600 fully phased out), the de minimis safe harbor at 10% / 5% of receipts, the anti-"crack and pack" rules under Reg. §1.199A-5(c)(2), and practical strategies like defined-benefit plans and W-2 wage planning to preserve the deduction.
