Answer:

Elliot's qualified business income deduction is $28,000.

Explanation:

total income

= share in specified service business income + wages of wife

= 280000*50% + $90000

= $230,000

taxable income before QBI = total income - standard deduction

                                              = $230,000 - $24,000

                                              = $206,000

QBI deduction is lesser of:

- 20% of qualified business income

= $140,000*20%

= $28,000

Therefore,  Elliot's qualified business income deduction is $28,000.
