"Continuity and regularity" as part of the QBI deduction requirement
According to TurboTax's system, my business income qualified for the QBI deduction. However, I am still unsure if this is accurate. The IRS's Instructions for Form 8995 states that a business endeavor qualifies if "your primary purpose...is for income or profit and you're involved in the activity with continuity and regularity." I am the only one responsible for the business, so all business activity is done by me. In that sense, I am involved in it with "continuity and regularity." However, due to a personal emergency, I have had to back off of the business endeavor - almost to a stand-still. I still made income from it, and I still have expenses for maintaining the business. The business goal remains income/profit. But as far as the hours put in on a weekly/monthly basis, it is pretty sporadic. I still have to do things like quarterly state tax reports, etc. So, would this still be considered a business endeavor of "continuity and regularity?"
