On the Form 8995 generated for my return, TT lists four entities:
- The name and partnership employer ID numbers for each of the two LPs I've invested in.
- The name and EIN for the sole proprietorship I report on Schedule C.
- Me: my name and SSN.
I'm suspicious about the last of these.
TT also generates a Qualified Business Income Component Worksheet for each of these entities. In the box above line 1 on these worksheets, the name and tax ID number is shown for the LPs and my sole proprietorship, but on the worksheet for me alone, there's just my name:
Unless there is a reason for TT to treat me as an individual separately from me as a sole proprietor, the entry on From 8995 for me, as well as on the corresponding QBI Component Worksheet, seem unnecessary. If they are, how can I get TT to avoid generating them?
(I checked to see if TT thought I ran two Schedule C businesses, but in interview mode, only one business is shown, and TT generates only one Schedule C for the return.)
I'm running the desktop Home & Business version of TT on Windows.
