NFIB Launches New State-Specific Tools to Highlight Benefits of 20% Small Business Tax Deduction in Virginia

NFIB Launches New State-Specific Tools to Highlight Benefits of 20% Small Business Tax Deduction in Virginia

May 22, 2025

The deduction is set to expire by the end of the year

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, has released two new digital tools to help small business owners, policymakers, and the public in Virginia understand the significant economic impact of the 20% Small Business Tax Deduction and what’s at stake if Congress fails to make it permanent.

The new tools include an interactive map that allows users to explore how extending the Small Business Deduction would power job creation and GDP growth in every congressional district across Virginia. NFIB also launched a tax calculator to provide small business owners in Virginia with personalized estimates of how much more they could owe in federal income taxes in 2026 if the deduction expires.

View the interactive map here and the calculator here.

“Small business is the backbone of Virginia’s economy,” said NFIB State Director Julia Hammond. “Congress needs to move quickly to preserve this essential tax deduction.”

According to NFIB’s interactive map, if the deduction is extended, Virginia could see an increase of nearly 64,000 jobs and $3.9 billion in GDP over the next decade. The district-level data allow lawmakers and local leaders to understand exactly how small businesses in their communities stand to gain when the tax deduction is made permanent, or lose if it is not.

The tax calculator helps individual small business owners project their potential tax increase if the deduction is not extended. For example, a Virginia small business owner with a personal income of $75,000 and qualified business income of $150,000 could see a tax increase of more than $13,000, depending on their full financial profile.

We also applaud the U.S. House of Representatives for passing the One Big Beautiful Act this morning. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is one of the most pro-small business pieces of legislation in recent history, and Congress has a historic opportunity to provide over 33 million small business owners with permanent tax relief.
