If your aggregate/not aggregate choices are not what you want, you can change the designation as "aggregated" in TurboTax Online. Follow these instructions, previously provided by Community Champ tagteam:
Go back through the interview for each business or rental property you entered. If you see a screen asking if your taxable income might exceed $160,700 (or $321,400 if married filing a joint return), answer Yes (even if that is not the case). Answer No to the specified services trade or business question (unless it applies to your business). You should then encounter the screen "Should [name] be treated as part of a combined business?". That screen will give you the option to combine the business or rental into another or indicate that the "business" is independent of any other activities.
If you are using TurboTax Download/CD version, you can make the switch in Forms mode. Save a back-up copy (Save As) of your tax return and then try this approach:
In Forms mode, find the schedule for each business/source of QBI (e.g., Schedule C or Schedule E), and then find the Qualified Business Income Deduction Smart Worksheet for that form (e.g., for Schedule C it is after Part V, for Schedule E it is after Line 22 Deductible rental real estate loss). Question A in that smart worksheet asks which QBI worksheet to report (QuickZoom). Choosing the same QBI worksheet for all businesses is how TurboTax aggregates them for QBI calculations; conversely if you use a separate QBI worksheet for each business/source of QBI they do not aggregate for the calculation. The QBI worksheet is named the "QBI component worksheet".
So, you can delete the QBI component worksheets that are not like you want, and repopulate new QBI component worksheets in the Qualified Business Income Deduction Smart Worksheet for each Schedule C/Schedule E, question A.
