Why is TT filling in a 5329T - this does not apply to me - how do I clear this BS. Also, TT added a QBI - I do not have a business. What gives?

Form 5329 is the tax form used to calculate possibly IRS penalties and possibly request a penalty waiver.

 

You may need form 5329 in three situations:

• early distributions from a tax-favored account
• excess contributions to a tax-favored account
• failing to take required minimum distributions

For more details please check, Form 5329

 

You don't need to have a business to qualify for QBI deduction. 

Did you receive a K-1 or a 1099-DIV with an amount in  box 5 Section 199A?
