The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) has introduced two digital tools aimed at helping small business owners, policymakers, and the public in Nevada understand the economic impact of the 20% Small Business Tax Deduction. The tools also highlight potential consequences if Congress does not make this deduction permanent.
One tool is an interactive map that illustrates how extending the Small Business Deduction could foster job creation and GDP growth across Nevada’s congressional districts. Additionally, NFIB has launched a tax calculator to provide personalized estimates for small business owners on potential federal income tax increases in 2026 if the deduction expires.
“These new tools give small business owners and elected leaders in Nevada real data about the economic stakes,” said Tray Abney, state director for NFIB in Nevada. “If Congress fails to act, millions of small businesses across the country—including right here in Nevada—will face a massive tax hike. That means fewer jobs, less investment, and slower growth for our communities. We urge Congress to make the 20% Small Business Tax Deduction permanent.”
Abney also praised recent legislative efforts: “We also applaud the United States House of Representatives 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.”
According to NFIB’s map, extending the deduction could result in an increase of 23,994 jobs and $1.4 billion in GDP for Nevada over ten years. The district-level data offer lawmakers insights into potential gains or losses for local businesses depending on whether or not Congress acts.
The tax calculator allows individual small business owners to estimate their potential tax increases if the deduction is not extended. For instance, a Nevada small business owner with personal income of $75,000 and qualified business income of $150,000 might see a tax increase exceeding $13,000 based on their financial profile.

NFIB continues its advocacy work on behalf of America’s small businesses from Washington D.C., as well as all state capitals nationwide since its founding in 1943.
