What has changed since 2019. I E filed last year no problem? I cannot E file because of the QBI rental real estate safe harbor statement? Must I really print and sign? I've tried to delete the form, but it just pops back in.
Here is what I found on another thread, I am # 3 A rental activity eligible for the QBID because it is considered a trade or business by the owner (Safe Harbor statement not required).
Why can I not delete the statement?
If your tax return includes a Rental Activity Safe Harbor Statement, that statement has to be signed and dated and included with a "printed and mailed" tax return. TurboTax cannot attach a PDF for the Rental Activity Safe Harbor Statement to an e-filed 2019 tax return.
Note that for rental activities not conducted by a real estate professional or not rented to a a related party, a rental activity can fall into three categories for qualified business income deduction QBID:
- A rental activity not eligible for the QBID because it does not meet the safe harbor criteria and is otherwise not considered a trade or business;
- A rental activity eligible for the QBID because it does meet the safe harbor criteria (Safe Harbor statement required); and,
- A rental activity eligible for the QBID because it is considered a trade or business by the owner (Safe Harbor statement not required).
