Reference computation

For a Utah pass-through entity with $500,000 of qualified net income allocated to this state, at a 37% federal marginal bracket, the entity-level PTET and federal-deduction math is:

Utah — reference example

QBI allocation·UT rate= Entity-level tax

$500,000×5%=$22,500

Utah Code § 59-10-1043.2 (Pass-Through Entity Taxpayer Income Tax Credit / SALT Report)

Entity tax·Federal bracket= Federal deduction (gross)

$22,500×37%=$8,325

At a 37% federal bracket, the entity-level deduction saves $8,325 in federal tax. Net of §199A QBI offset (~20% × bracket × entity tax = $1,665), aggregate benefit is approximately $6,660.
