Is form 8990 required for my business filing? I am very small ~ 10K- no interest expense. It is a C corp with two owners and turbo is saying I have to complete 8990

[stu23jeffery]

Business is all cash and has revenue of about $10k per year

Have used this product many years and not had this problem till this year. 

There are 2 shareholders in this business, so clearly at least one has more than 20% control. Does that mean the business is a "pass through?"  

But in any case the revenue level is a small business and it known by turbo tax. In addition there is no interest expense (also known by TurboTax) should override the trigger for form 8990?

Thanks for any help on this.

Thanks for response. I am sure 8990 is not needed and I am going to press on and see if I can get turbo tax to accept efile without it.  And since form 8990 is "scanned and attached" turbo tax probably doesn't know if it is really the 8990.  If I am correct that I don't need it, then intuit needs to do some cleanup on this issue

turbotax created some sort of 8990 based on my file - I don't think it is required, but I went ahead and attached it. I got response that IRS had accepted it.

Form 8990 is brand new for the 2018 tax year, so you would have never encountered this line of questioning in the past. I have not run through the 1120 recently, but I would assume the program would not require you to file it since you would obviously be excluded. 

Since it's new, you may have to complete just to get the exclusion.

Go to schedule B Item 10 and answer Yes. Now the form is not needed
Exclusions from filing. A taxpayer is not
required to file Form 8990 if the taxpayer
is a small business taxpayer and does not
have excess business interest expense
from a partnership.
