Does turbo tax automatically lie?

[ptx18]

Turbo Tax is lying on my behalf. I do not qualify even remotely for a business income deduction. Explain yourself.

No one else can see your screen or your tax return so no one has any idea what you are talking about.   Could you please be more specific?

Did you get any K-1 forms?  Or it can come from dividends you entered like box 5.

Turbo Tax gave me a $1,124 Qualified Business Income deduction with no basis for it from anything I reported to them.I think they did it twice in this same return. Fraud on my behalf?

[SweetieJean]

Many owners of sole proprietorships, partnerships, S corporations and some trusts and estates may be eligible for a qualified business income (QBI) deduction. Did you enter income from any of those sources?   And a mistake does not necessarily equate to fraud.

No to all of your questions. Now what? It seems that your response was based on possibilities rather than facts I have reported.

Did I report any income of the type you questioned? No! How then do you justify your action?

What facts?  You have not mentioned anything concerning your tax return.  Did you enter anything at all based on self-employment income?  Did you enter a Schedule K-1?  Did you enter any rental property income and expenses?

If not, then clear your tax return and start over to remove the QBI.

If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the program screen while working on the 2021 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over.
