Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It is 'not working' meaning:

  • You are not generating a qualified business income deduction, or
  • You are receiving an error message?

A qualified business income deduction is reported on line 13 of the 2020 Federal 1040 tax return and line 15 of IRS Form 8995

 

It is possible that a net loss by one entity will offset net income on another entity.  So, it is possible that the net loss of entity A is offsetting the net income of entity B.  It is also possible for the 2020 IRS Form 8995 to have all net income but a QBI carryforward loss from 2019 wipes out the QBID for 2020.

 

When you say there is a net loss and net income, are there two K-1's?  Or is there one K-1 with reporting multiple properties?  There may be an attached statement reporting as below.

 

                     K-1           A                 B   

Box 1        1,000        1,500          (500) 

 

K-1 box 1 reports $1,000 but the attached statement reports two properties that make up the $1,000 box 1 entry.

 

Are the entries that you described in box 1 or box 2?
