Get your taxes done using TurboTax

that depends on whether you have other sources of QBI.  net SSTB income is subject to a phase out if your taxable income is too high 

 

here's an oversimplified example 

$200K as taxable income single filing status

$100K of SSTB income

$50K of non SSTB loss

Because of the SSTB income phaseout due to taxable income being over the limit the QBI for the SSTB is only $40K 

while the full $50K loss from non SSTB is QBI. they net to a $10K loss so no QBI deduction in the current year and the $10K QBI loss carries over to the next taxable year.

 

had taxable income been only $100K there would be a $10K QBI deduction

 

switch it to $100K sstb loss and 50K of non SSTB income with taxable income 200K and you have a QBI loss carryover of $50K

 

answer the QBI questions as to SSTB correctly.  the examples assume all income and losses are non passive because passive losses nay never make it to the QBI computation

 

 

if you want to do your own calcs get form 8995/8995A from the iRS website. that's the forms for computing the qbi
