I understand how the tax code works. My issues isn't a tax problem, it's a technical issue with the software.
I did some more testing of it and it appears that the last update introduced a bug into the software. When entering rental information, if the user doesn't enter a name on the page that says "Name and employer ID number for this rental" page, then the program no longer includes that income on the Qualified Business Income Deduction worksheet (even though it qualifies for QBI and the user chose "yes" for QBI income and the program says it's counting it for QBI (but it doesn't actually!). If I go back and enter any name in that box (even without the EIN), then it counts the QBI correctly.
This is a major bug with TurboTax that is going to cause users to overpay their taxes because many rental property owners won't get the QBI deduction even if they qualify for it. Can you report it to Intuit? Intuit doesn't give users a way to report actual bugs.
