The regulations regarding the QBI deduction are relatively new and as such there is some disagreement as to how they are to be interpreted.
As with many tax regulations, it is not practical or possible to list all of the qualifications necessary to comply, giving the format constraints of tax preparation software. Also, it is not practical or possible to inform you of every possible interpretation of the tax laws.
TurboTax guarantees the accuracy of our calculations, so I would suggest you apply a literal interpretation to the instructions in the program. At the same time, you are free to make your own determination, since after all, it is your tax return.
