If you do not have qualifying business income (QBI) then you can remove it by saying you did not actively or materially participate in any business activity. This can come from a K-1, 1099-PATR, Schedule C, 1099-DIV or a rental activity (not always allowed). The forms may have Section 199... in one of the boxes, depending on where your entry actual comes from.
To remove it from a rental activity follow the steps below.
- Open your TurboTax return > Search (upper right) type rentals > Press enter > Click the Jump to ... link
- Edit next to your rental activity > Scroll to Qualified Business Income > Edit/Update >
- Select 'None of the above' on the Real Estate Professional page
- Continue to the page Do you want to use a safe harbor.... Select 'None of these apply' > Continue
- Select 'No', on the page Is this Qualified Business Income?
If you are self employed, using Schedule C, you are eligible for QBID and no change would be required.
