business income

[qs4NBC]

We do not own a business. Why is there a business income shown? What caused this?

[VolvoGirl]

Where is it showing?  Did it fill out a schedule C?  Did you get a 1099Misc for something or a K-1?

[Hal_Al]

Rental income counts as business income for purposes of the new Qualified business income deduction (line 10 of form 1040).

As VolvoGirl suggested, entering a form 1099-misc or K-1 could be interpreted as business income, depending on how you answer the follow up questions.
