I do not own a business. In the "Qualified Business Income Deduction Summary" it shows a QBI amount of $37 and a QBI deduction of $7. Where did this amounts come from?

My wife and I are filing a joint return using TurboTax Premier.  We do not own a business, nor have we ever.  It seems TurboTax came up with these QBI amounts on its own, with no way for us to edit them.  Is this a legitimate deduction?

You probably have an amount in box 5 of a 1099-DIV. The deduction is legitimate.
