I, along with numerous other taxpayers, have been waiting for quite some time for guidance on the issue where TurboTax is not allowing e-filing when the “QBI Deduction Worksheet Schedule B – Aggregation of Business Operations” is present. Having to file to both Federal and State manually will be a huge hassle due to the numerous pages involved. Also, filing on paper will cause delays in processing as well as could trigger an audit with some data being omitted or incorrect when the data is entered manually. Some have suggested to disaggregate their business operations however that will require the taxpayer to spend 250 hours or more of rental services for EACH property and possibly have the QBI deduction reversed if audited. Why would we have to do this just because TurboTax won’t update their software? I purchased the Premier software since I own a lot of rental properties. I do not want to paper file. I see that a great many of users are asking the same question – Will TurboTax be updated to allow efiling with the “QBI Deduction Worksheet Schedule B – Aggregation of Business Operations” and, if so, WHEN????? TurboTax fails to answer nor do they even issue a statement that this issue is being worked (with some kind of date estimation).
