“Small business owners have faced their fair share of challenges in the past decade. Inflation, workforce shortages, and supply chain issues have rattled day-to-day operations and budgets. Thankfully, President Donald Trump and Congress have given small businesses a much-needed lifeline that will allow Main Street to grow and further invest in our communities.

In Iowa, the National Federation of Independent Businesses is comprised of thousands of small business owners who represent a wide array of industries, including retail, agriculture, health care, and manufacturing. Many NFIB members started their businesses during tough times, and the burden of high taxes often made it difficult to invest in their companies, employees, and communities. When the 20% Small Business Tax Deduction was enacted in 2017, they felt a great deal of relief. Small businesses have been able to deduct 20% of their business income each year, leveling the playing field against larger corporations.”
