Reference federal-arbitrage computation
Both scenarios assume $1,000,000 qualified net income, a 37% owner federal bracket, and no apportionment. Both reduce §199A QBI base proportionally; net benefit shown is the federal SALT-arbitrage less the rough QBI offset (~20% × bracket × entity tax).
Entity-level tax: $68,500. Net of QBI offset (~$5,069): $20,276.
Entity-level tax: $63,087. Net of QBI offset (~$4,668): $18,674.
Why owners with K-1 income across these two states care
New York and New Jersey interact in three ways that matter to a multi-state K-1 holder: (1) independent elections — each state's PTET is its own election with its own deadline and form, so a missed NY deadline does not affect NJ; (2) aggregate federal deduction — the entity-level tax paid to BOTH states is deductible at the federal entity level under IRS Notice 2020-75, so the federal arbitrage compounds; (3) composite-return interaction may differ — see each state's row above.
