None of the instructions I've read seem to properly and accurately account for 1099-PATR received by workers from a worker cooperative. As a former tax Intuit Tax Expert, Enrolled Agent and a Tax Pro beginning to help worker cooperatives, there should be more clear guidance.
The 1099-PATR for a worker cooperative should not be subject to SE tax and should also qualify for the QBI deduction. The easiest way to do this would be to report it as a Div box 5 for section 199A dividends.
However I imagine this would cause the IRS to possibly find an error.
The guidance is that it is reported as Other Income or possibly on a schedule C not subject to SE tax.
I can't figure out how to enter this properly, the other income won't give me an option for the 199a and the schedule C will be subject to SE tax.
