New digital tools helping Arizona small businesses understand tax impacts.

News Summary

The NFIB has launched new digital resources for Arizona small business owners, including an interactive map and tax calculator, to illustrate the economic impact of the proposed 20% Small Business Tax Deduction. These tools aim to inform business owners and policymakers about potential job creation and GDP growth, as well as the financial repercussions if the deduction is not made permanent. With over a million small businesses at risk of tax increases, the NFIB emphasizes the importance of extending this deduction for economic stability in Arizona.

Arizona small business owners will soon have access to new digital tools that highlight the economic impact of the 20% Small Business Tax Deduction, thanks to the launch by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). These tools aim to provide vital information as policymakers consider legislation that could affect the financial landscape for millions of small enterprises across the state.

The new resources include an interactive map and a tax calculator. The interactive map allows users to explore potential job creation and GDP growth in each congressional district in Arizona if the tax deduction is extended. Meanwhile, the tax calculator offers personalized estimates for individual small business owners, illustrating the possible federal income tax increases they could face if the deduction expires.

According to the NFIB, failure to extend the tax deduction could lead to substantial financial repercussions for small businesses in Arizona. Estimates suggest that over a million small business owners could experience significant government-imposed tax increases, resulting in fewer jobs, less investment, and slower economic growth in the state.

The NFIB advocates for making the 20% Small Business Tax Deduction permanent, underscoring the high economic stakes tied to this deduction’s continuation. Legislators are being urged to recognize the importance of supporting small businesses, which play a significant role in driving local economies.

The NFIB’s interactive map presents striking projections: if the deduction remains in effect, it could create approximately 49,404 jobs and add nearly $2.9 billion to Arizona’s GDP over the next decade. This data underscores the potential economic benefits that could be lost if the deduction is not preserved.

On a congressional district level, the map displays vital information about local small businesses, indicating how they would benefit or suffer based on the deduction’s status. This localized approach provides context for policymakers, allowing them to better understand the implications of their legislative decisions.

The tax calculator offers tangible examples of the financial burden that could impact small business owners. For instance, a business owner with a personal income of $75,000 and a qualified business income of $150,000 might face tax increases of more than $13,000 if the deduction is not extended. Such figures exemplify the real consequences that the expiration of the deduction could impose on individual businesses.

The recent passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act by the United States House of Representatives, which provides significant tax relief to over 33 million small business owners, highlights ongoing efforts at the federal level to support small enterprises. However, the NFIB maintains that further action is necessary to ensure the longevity of the Small Business Tax Deduction to foster an environment conducive to growth and stability.

Other resources and information regarding NFIB’s advocacy initiatives in Arizona can be found at www.SmallBusinessDeduction.com. With a history spanning over 80 years, the NFIB has firmly established itself as a nonpartisan, member-driven organization focused on championing the interests of small businesses nationwide.

As Arizona’s policymakers consider the implications of the Small Business Tax Deduction, these new tools provide essential insights into the economic stakes involved, equipping small business owners with information to understand how legislative changes may impact them.
