I don't want the Qualified Business Income Deduction (8995), but TurboTax won't allow me to proceed.

Hi there,

 

I have $8 of REIT 1099-DIV income. TurboTax wants to give me $2 back for the QBI deduction. The form won't be released until 2/20 (the date has been pushed back twice). The system won't let me remove the QBI Summary, instead forcing me to wait until that form is released.

 

The Qualified Business Income Deduction (QBI ) is just that—a deduction, and is therefore not required. I've talked to two different TurboTax support people and they couldn't figure out how to bypass it. I assume this is a bug, can anyone confirm?
