Get your taxes done using TurboTax

BillM223,

 

Thank you so much.  Sorry I was not very clear in my original message. We have $3000 QBI Deduction (20% of QBI)  from our joint filing. Now we do married-file-separately. We now have $3000 QBI deduction in each of our return (total $6000). So we need to make some adjustment so that our total QBI deduction is still $3000 together, (not $3000 each) . There are two adjustment screens in Turbo tax, one for income adjustment, one for tax withheld adjustment. There isn't a dedicated adjustment screen for deductions. 

 

So my question is in which one of the two adjustment screens I should adjust the QBI deduction. I am now doing it in the income adjustment screen (adjusting my wages, dividends, and deductions, altogether in one lump sum. )

 

I hope my way is the intended way by Turbotax.

 

Any thought?

 

Thank you all so much! Have fun doing tax. It really should be simplified. I cannot imagine most people will do it right every year!
